    It seems to be there for me at the moment.

    I would point out a few things though:

    1. That file is no longer updated. https://nightly.datatables.net/js/dataTables.min.js is the nightly build file for DataTables core.
    2. It doesn't have heavy caching, so you be better using the CDN files.
    3. It can, will and does break from time to time, since it is a nightly build and I do occasionally make duff commits! Again the CDN would be better if you are settled on using DataTables - which is sounds like you are :)

    Oh wow! I did not realize that the path was old :smile:, I was looking though posts and I saw it changed 2 years ago. That link is working.

    I love when things break! I enjoy the challenge of figuring out your code.
    Plus as you make breaking changes I get to fix it on end making switching much easier for me since I don't have a lot of changes.

    For example you recently changed from .dataTables_filter input to .dt-search input I had fun figuring out what you changed.

    Either was thanks for this amazing product I have been using it since 2018!!

    Lol. You might want to talk to a councillor ;)

    Great to hear you are enjoying using DataTables!
