Posts/Threads Missing From Community

I am noticing lately that many posts/threads that I follow on the Adobe Community website (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator ecosystems) have been removed. When I click on a link from Google or from an email I’ve received from Adobe regarding a new post to a topic I follow, it just sends me to this Welcome page (https://community.adobe.com/community#M131238) and there is no way to access the thread. Why is Adobe removing community posts, isn’t the purpose of this site to help and get help from other users? 

This thread in general is one that I am following, as it is a recent Ps bug that has not yet been fixed, and the link just goes to the welcome page: https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.adobe.com%2Ft5%2Fphotoshop-ecosystem-bugs%2Fp-ps-27-1-launch-error-could-not-apply-the-saved-panel-configuration-resetting-to-default%2Fidc-p%2F15662958%23M131238&data=05%7C02%7CTLANGSTON%40BJMWEB.COM%7Cdaa3bf90065544cbdfc708de5372224f%7Cda061965b74247039a5df332dc17cf8a%7C0%7C0%7C639039946839615889%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NUwLlBtss9v0x%2BZvO1y4TAwOTsSDcSEJEuzMbHUptm4%3D&reserved=0)

 

This is very frustrating as I have been coming here for years to find answers and workarounds to the constant bugs Adobe introduces with each update. Is Adobe just deleting bug reports and community threads that THEY personally feel are unimportant?

Also, a lot of posts will be moved from “Bugs” to “Discussions”, because they turn out to be a) hardware issues outside Photoshop, b) corrupt preferences, or c) misunderstanding how the application is designed to work.

 

When moved, the original link goes dead.

 

This no doubt upsets many posters, but it’s important to reserve the “Bugs” subsection for actual real bugs, so that they can get the proper attention and not drown in noise.

@troyjack Please see this post from Adobe : 


Posts prior to November 16 2025 were migrated on day one. Posts between November 16 and the new community launch will be migrated ‘soon’.

Thank you for sharing, good to know.

Hopefully Adobe will send an email announcement to users next time they do something like this.

Did you noticed that the forums just moved to a new backend? Adobe posted that older threads would be available immediately but newer ones would take a bit to restore. They are still working out the new system as well. Be patient.

No I did not know, thank you. I never received a notification from Adobe that this was taking place.

There was a notification on the main forums pages for about a month prior to the upgrade, Adobe didn’t send out email notifications.
