WHY are you guys still screwing around over there? Do you need a whack with a 2x4 to wake you up? 
If all of you would stop posting complaints, the place would sink. 
Man, I think the stopped allowing me to post pictures over there…I had the perfect reply to Roasted By John and Frederick_Law saying that the whole thing was built on a house of cards…“It’s like this ship is being driven by:”
Need some place to take a dump …
I’ve done some searches recently that lead me to the old solidworks forum. You get a single post of the thread. (The first post, maybe?)
I sure am glad they implemented the google search capability.
They’re redirecting old forum URL to new SwYmP.
Pretty Interesting.
Now, will Google retain the old search results?
You can use your old bookmark and get into the SwYmP.
Of course only threads in there could be view.
As you pointed out earlier, the fact that they’re able to use the same olds links to bring them to the new platform is something to be applauded, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone succesfully manage this so far.
Hopefully the next step is programming a seperate module to the platform which will be used as a forum, rather then ask people to use the platform as the replacement to a forum.
Sure, the threads aren’t displaying right, right now, and I’m sure that puts them to shame. But I’m also sure that they’re still working on trying to get that fixed, because it is somewhat a crucial part of the transition.
This will, at some point, take you to the actual post. Their implementation is incredibly awful, but they are working to make improvements.
Eventually.
They have a lot of work to do.
Maybe the plan was to have job security for those social media programmers that know what we need better than what we’ve been telling them but they are too stupid and stubborn to listen even though we’ve been yelling and yelling and telling and telling, oh what Seussian rant I am on, without a proper period to end this long, oh what a mess I am, if I get ten times messier perhaps I can Swym.
Sorry. To much coffee in too short a time this morning.
This is their only real hope of fixing the 3DSwamp forum, to give us what want. It has been suggested MANY times.
This seems to be classic DSS. Force something on the users that isn’t even in Beta stage, and then spend the next 3 years letting the users debug the system for them.
I’ve just noticed something that has immediately become possibly the most irritating aspect of that place.
The 6W Tags aren’t 6 Ws, it’s 5 W’s and an H.
Take a look at Ryan Priddy’s category list, no Kitty Dump, Quotes, What You Listen Too, Surely No Pets Allowed, What You Drink, all the Negative WHY’s - kind a what I expected. The replacement for all the above will be useless Marketing Shoved Down Our Gullets…
Oppa DS style!
Consistently Inconsistent.
Roasted By John Where do we view this category list from Ryan Priddy that you mentioned.

That’s hilarious! You rock!
Now you get naming rights for what it should be.
Because most assuredly everyone that logs onto the forum will not only read the wiki, but decide the “Proper” tag(s) to apply so that everyone can find the posts at a future date. The fact that this is not mandatory is ridiculous and the fact that someone has to go look at the list and then decide where it should be is short of unusable. Here and every forum I’ve ever been at you log in and are faced with “Places to put stuff that make sense” and STILL people post things in the wrong place. This approach is largely worthless.
Absolutely - that’s like a frog race without running boards.
“How to five “W””
Apparently the “W” can appear anywhere in the word, I am going to use the 7 Ws -
Where / What / When / Who / How / Why / Tawd
How’s this?
