Their useless "forum" seems to have been updated recently and it just doesn't work too well in PM (I'm using the latest/current Windows version).
When you try to create a post, you need to select at least one "topic" under the edit box. The problem is, you can't click on the buttons in PM.
Can anyone with an account there confirm?

Their useless forum was upgraded to be even more useless? Wonder if that was a point in the release notes
  • New improvements to increase the uselessness of the software
How far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to risk? How many people are you prepared to sacrifice for victory?
Are you willing to die friendless, alone, deserted by everyone? Because that's what may be required of you in the war that is to come.

Maybe we should upgrade to that too!

Hahaha.
I'm glad I only needed to go there twice, including this time.

But fuck me, these forums are even worse than Microsoft (with all the Indians copypasting nonsense responses and random replies showing up on top unchronologically), and that's the definition of useless+WTF.

Careful.
He's not wrong, speaking as an Indian myself. It's doubly annoying because these Microsoft support results are usually at the top when you search for troubleshooting info, and they have nothing other than boilerplate responses or the patently obvious stuff (uninstall, restart etc) that someone would've tried before creating the post.
And it is bad, I can tell you. If anyone here's watched 'The IT Crowd', there's a running gag where Roy hooks up an answering machine to his desk phone with a recorded message saying 'have you turned it off and on again?', and it's quite like that. At a few places I've worked, the company's IT staff would have a go to reply of 'let us back up your data and reinstall Windows after a system format' .

Exactly.
I don't give a shit of someone is Indian or japanese or whatever. I just described the problem of those "forums". Crappy english skills (because Indians typically don't know much english, or use such english that isn't of any use, which is not racism but simple stating the facts) and copypasta just kill the little use that place could theoretically have.
