Forum Doesn't Work ( cannot access anything other than copilot )
This is all very great, but I have zero use for Copilot currently and (in what doesn't feel like a surprise in the slightest) I have been pushed to the Copilot subforum from the Power Automate Community registration links.
Then after I've done all the registration ... all the other links here whilst seemingly different, redirect to the same Copilot subforum instead of my intended destination.
I know that MS is desperate for people to engage with the C word ... but you don't need to force us. ;-)
Basically; I have no recourse to discuss the subject that I have come here to discuss / help with / get help with / etc. ... and should be able to by the links provided ... thus the forum simply does not work.
Forum Base
If one uses just the url, that should (if I am reading it right) take me to the top of the tree, you are still redirected to land in the Copilot subforum:
This is not usable for the three other reasons someone may come here.
What that looks like
Below is an image of that with no way to access the other forums.
THERE WOULD BE AN IMAGE HERE BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD ANYTHING
Posting A New Question
This form simply does not work, either, there are no options to post to relevant communities.
community.powerplatform.com/ask-question
A brief glimpse of a form field for 'Community Site' does flash up, but it is then quickly hidden / removed by the page compositor.
Unfortunately, this makes me lean toward thinking that this whole thing is a bit intentional.
Power Platform Community Drop Down Links
The links on the Community home page all ostensibly look like they point to the various community boards ... however they all redirect to the Copilot forum.
Those links are:
Each redirects back to the Copilot forum which only potentially as any relevancy, and that menu is pictured in the image below:
THERE WOULD BE AN IMAGE HERE BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD ANYTHING
Users have now been restricted from posting in our respective communities, which are now in 'Read Only - But with likes' mode. So posting here is not an option, and you should be way past this by this point in the new way of things.
Conclusion
If this is just a temporary thing then ... fine ... but tell us. But I have also tested this in a degoogled, otherwise stock, chromium, as well as Firefox ... and it's not good.
However, if my experience editing this post (seriously, it doesn't save drafts like it used to ... I lost ALL my text because I accidentally clicked outside the editing window) is anything to go by this place needs a lot of work.
Right now, though, this community simply doesn't work.
That is a shame, too, as it was heads and shoulders above any similar online resource that I'd used in the past up until now simply because of the community for that one specific area. However, to all intents and purposes, that community does not now exist.
... and I will be gosh darned if I will let a silly forum wonk force me down the silly ai 'c word' route. ;-)
