I have my usual haunts bookmarked to the discussion page. Today I was showing someone how to get there, and I could not. I could be blind, but can not see the option to get to discussion page on either Bridge or Camera Raw. Below are screen shots. One shows normal view the other the altenate screen for Bridge. Never got the view with camera raw on how to get to discussion page. Win 7 system, firefox browser.

In another thread I've suggested the following:

Dump the Trending Threads Permanently.

Create an Archive server that is not tied to the Forums Server.

Dump all Topics that have not shown any signs of life for two weeks.

If you have any slow defective Servers they should be taken out replaced and the old destroyed. If it’s the entire server Farm contract with better server farm company.

Finally connections to Internet should using the fastes tecnology in existence. Fiber Optic or what ever.

I use Comcast Blast Internet service it’s the fastest consumer Cable Internet they have, short of Buiness class.

with the trending feature it too as long a 1-1.5 minutes to load a Thread. with the Trending junk removed cut the download time by 75%. Still takes to long. with a speed of 35 MB on off peak times and 16 MB at peak use time. a thread should download atmost as soon as its clicked, no excuses. Although I'm sure some will appear.

Phillip, I very much doubt that duplicating your messages will be a great help for the cause.

Hi Curt,

A tab for, or an easily reachable route to, the Discussions page no longer exists in the forum layouts. If you send me an email explaining why it would be helpful to John Q Public to have easy access to the Discussions page, I'll forward it to the team that works on the user interface.

I'll PM you with my address.

Thanks!

This must be the team:

Adobe is doing whatever it can to drive users away from these forums, so they can shut them down, right?

No. The overall goal is to make the forums more effective. (And no, we are definitely not intending to shut them down; quite the opposite.)

If your goal coming into the forum is to read the most recent existing discussions, you could say that removing the tab along the top with the Discussions link has made the forums harder to use.

However, in most cases, people are coming to the forum with the goal of finding an answer or solution.

For this, we try to feature answers to common questions near the top of the forum, with the recent discussions below that. (There's no sense in asking a question and waiting for an answer when the answer is immediately available to you.)

If users with this goal want to see a page of only discussions, presumably because they are trying to visually scan for a relevant thread, the intuitive way is to click the "More" link at the bottom of the Trending Questions pod.
