Problem with Community support system

Where do I report problems with this system itself?

It is really anoying when you don't have a general support email fir things which don't fit in the boxes you classify 'support' into.

Like this Comminuty web site. No category for faults with it.

Hence I'm posting here.

      Good to know

      > Contact Support

      How do you contact support?

      I clicked 'support' at the top of the page, that asks you to select a product, not applicable in this case.

      I clicked 'netgear' at the top of the page, then 'support' ditto.

      Scroll to bottom, clicked 'contact us', under 'email us' there are email addresses for sales, press & investors, and a link 'Contact Customer Support' ->

       

      None of which are ACTUALLY CONTACT WITH CUSTOMER SUPPORT, and not applicable in this case, I am not in need of product support.

      So I give up and post this.

      Yes, that part works.

      Good to know, but 'feedback' was not what I was after.

       

       

      Specifically I got an email, which clearly reflected a bug in the system & I wanted to report it. Which would be easy if I could forward it to a customer support email.

      Hi @micheal_Oz

       

      Have you set DNS on your NIC settings? 

       

      SMB Discover currently works with MacOS, Linux and NAS Platforms as indicated.

       

      Hope this helps!

      That is copy from html email & paste here.

      The primary problem is obvious.

      A secondary problem, as the issue is not fixed it should not be marked as a solution, so I go looking at the thread there does not appear to be a marked solution.
