Posting works although you get a cloudflare error which isn't reassuring.  When you can't see your post, you can dig it up using the trick I posted (with pictures) to press the ... (dot dot dot) at the top of a message and click here and there to get the hidden posts.  It's a hassle for sure.

So your post goes somewhere.  And even somewhere where others can read it.   If they go through a bunch of steps.

You have to do the workaround even to read this, so maybe you won't get anywhere until the forum is fixed .

I don't know if this will even post, but I've tried replying to numerous other posts over the past week+ and none of them show up, many times receiving errors.

I use both Windows 10 & 11.  I've tried from both Chrome and Edge browsers.  But nothing works, so I am unable to participate.

Hopefully posting a new Topic works..!?

I am curious if I can reply to my post I started this thread with.  It seems the only way I can participate is to create new topics, but I anything I post in existing threads doesn't ever show up since the past 3 weeks...

Read Jason's thread 'How to See "Hidden" Replies.

Yes - 1) the forum is broken, 2) is barely useable, 3) Yamaha Support is aware of it.

Use the 3 '...' at the top right just above the thread.

It's correct most replies get hidden.  There's a workaround (see thread with pictures) but it's hardly reasonable and I couldn't fault folks for tuning out until it's fixed.  The workaround doesn't fix everything but allows for posting replies and having all read the replies IF they use the "trick".

Unfortunately, Yamaha is seriously impacting its reputation but putting its name to this broken shambles of a forum. How can users have faith in the quality of Yamaha products when this debacle is presented as the public face of community engagement?

I agree.  Wish it didn't take months to fix.  

Reply to test if forum is working per Ben Israel.

New posts still go to purgatory.

Posting leads to the cloudflare gateway error.  After waiting minutes beyond the "working" circle going away.

All of the previous symptoms of the broken forum still exist despite a claim to the contrary.
