Website hints phasing out?
In the past, there has been a great way to find relatives who have record hints when using the website by going to https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/hints , however when I went there just recently, it seems there are almost no hints there. So I logged into my wife's account, just to test, and it seems there are almost none there either on her side of the family.
I've taught members of my ward how to use that site to find record hints in the past, and even helped someone find a person they could take to the temple using those. And I've even done a video showing people how to use those hints to find people. As well as finding literally hundreds of people that way. Are we still going to be able to find hints there, or are they phasing that out, and we would just have to use puzzilla or some other method?
I do notice that on the mobile app, there is still the tasks section (website hints equivalent), and that seems to populate just fine, but I really enjoy the website more than trying to do research on a mobile device (I like too many tabs open, I think).

@michaeldeanballard1 Hints are definitely NOT going away! I went to the link you provided and see many hints for my ancestors. So, the website is still populating if you have hints that were included in campaigns. And, of course, you can find record hints other ways:
- From the Recommended Tasks on your home page after you sign in to FamilySearch.org
- From a person's details page in Family Tree
- Using the Ancestors with Tasks or Descendants with Tasks lists on the mobile Tree app
- In notifications that FamilySearch sends out as campaigns.
