Dead links + did positions in Germany really already change since June 2017 ?

I find dead links on https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings-articles/world-university-rankings/top-universities-germany-2018 - some universities cannot get clicked. 
 
 
Also TU Dresden is 12 in Germany there (globally 195 as in press releases) but the long table says global 281 (what is right ?), in 2018 there is no number 198, I see 3*195 and then 199, so that Top 200 includes 201. That's slightly confusing altogether.

Hi Steffen, thanks for your comment. I've now fixed the broken links on the Top Universities in Germany article and updated the ranking position of TU Dresden, as the position of joint 281st is correct.

I've also reported the error regarding there being no university in 198th position on the table, and the university ranked 201st appearing in the top 200. This is being investigated, and I'll let you know when it's resolved.

Thank you. Most universities did not change their positions from June to October.  This "old" position 195 (score 48.1) of June 2017 is still shown in the app for smartphones. As TU Dresden has a supergood tendency in all global rankings (always Top 200 with the only exception of QS where it was downgraded in opposition to all other rankings) I am still optimistic that the next QS update will go towards Top 200 and better again. My hope was that 281 is from another year, not 2018, and the fourth 195 would be more accurate than 281 as seen few years ago but I'm not an expert.
However, with 3*195 followed by 199 there's a fourth 195 or one 198 missing, obviously. Carlos 3 de Madrid is also placed at 281 but without the = symbol.
Best regards.
