Terrible new forum format
Is there a way of vwing all messages in all categories as there was before? That made it much easier for me to find messages to which I might add a solution or comment.. Half the time (like with this message), it's not evben clear what the correct category is, but it didn't really matter since you could view all at once. The format also now has fewer messages listed on a page and a lot more fluff.
I don't know who thinks this is an improvement, but I don't see it as one. I know you didn't write the software, but you could have chosen to not update it.
You'll probably be seing a lot less of me.

Which gets me "An invalid set of parameters has been specified in the url."
I ran into that same issue with that URL. I think there is a change in the link between the one that I found that is working and the one that is not working:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Stories/Community-Pages-Update-Feedback/m-p/1311774
(There is an m-p vs the td-p.)

I agree entirely with Sandshark , I also like to have all posts from all sub forums on one page in strict time/date order.
One other important apparent loss is that posts do not indicate whether I have read them or not (i.e Bold font or not), I really do not wish to have to remember the time when I last read a thread.
BretD the link you quote above does not open for me
Also releasing a "Development", unannounced, expecting it to have "a few little bumps as we polish things up" is yet another example of the failure of Netgear to have adequate system test and QA procedures in place , instead relying on their clients to report faults, bugs, etc., this deonstrates a total disregard for their client base.
I also will have fewer visits and therefore offer less advice to others.
I wholeheartedly agree. Be sure to give your feedback in https://community.netgear.com/t5/Stories/NETGEAR-Community-Relaunch-Survey/td-p/1311788 and https://community.netgear.com/t5/Stories/Community-Pages-Update-Feedback/td-p/1311774
I'd try to tell you how to FIND them but that would be a disaster. About the closest way I have managed to get recent post list in the way it was visible before -- it still looks fantastically horrible -- is the enter at the top of ReadyNAS (https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Network-Storage/ct-p/readynas), scroll to the very bottom of the page, and click on "See All >" in the left sidebar (which is at the bottom of "New Posts"), and THEN click on "Discussions" at the top of the list (it stupidly defaults to Posts).
I sure hope someone comes to their senses and undoes this tripe. It's about as bad as any new layout I've ever seen.
OH... and if it gives you a warning banner saying it had a problem posting your thing, DON'T BELIEVE IT. I wound up with like 4 posts of the same thing in that feedback forum as a result of believing it. It would seem that model and tags are optional now, where they didn't seem to be before.
