    Every page I try to load just gives the message "page not found". Am I the only one experiencing this?

    As Aleks said, yes, something bad has happened. We've been uploading the 5.2 docs to the public site this morning. That looks like it's happened, but the back-up of 5.1.0 seems to have broken and trashed. Aleks and the team are trying to work out what's happened. Either use the docs on your local machine for the next hour or so, or use the 500 docs.

    So, bit of a summary... The "latest" docs are 510. The docs with no version number just point at the correct version number, but hide the version number. So:

    http://docs.unity3d.com/510/Documentation/Manual/index.html

    would just point at:

    http://docs.unity3d.com//Manual/index.html

    We've uploaded 5.2 to:

    http://docs.unity3d.com/520/Documentation/Manual/index.html

    but for reasons we are trying to work out, the 510 docs have been trashed, so the link without the 510/Documentation seems to be linked to the trashed version.

    I'm pretty sure that link is to 520... (Not that that is a problem... just it's identical to the doc pages with the 520 link in them...)
