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.)

It looks like the URL had an extra space at the end and that caused the linking issue.

  The "Read All" on the left is so far below the messages, it's no wonder I missed it. But, unfortunately, it's "read all unread messages". If you want to read through several and then go back and add to one, it's gone when you go back. That's why there is no highlighting of what you've read. I want a true "read all".
  
  The main thing I disliked when they did the previous format change was the loss of all of the indexing, making all links to messages invalid. At least I think we didn't lose that again with this version.

    That's always been there (on the right side with the old format), but might have been called "see all" before.
    
    It's my normal navigation in this forum (reading all posts I haven't read before). If I'm pressed for time I go into my profile and see if there are any unread replies on threads where I've already posted. Unfortunately the highlighting is missing there also (and I have reported that).
    
    There have been other reports from people who want to see all the posts in time order - it'd be good to add your voice to that in the community feedback link.
