I Cannot Find Anything on Spiceworks
-
There has been a major interface change over at SW and all of the normal paths to find parts of the site that you need are now no longer accessible via any graphical path (a la Windows 8.) But the links still work, you just have to know what they were. So I will collect them here to help people continue to access their site. It is still working, just hard to use:

THANK YOU I was a lost earlier and gave up cause I didn't have the patience to really search.

Bookmark this page, it will be the new, primary gateway to Spiceworks

Already did that before I even posted.

OMG, are you kidding? they removed those links from the homepage?

Yes, try the main page and see what you get. It is crazy confusing.

Thanks! LOL

That's too funny!

Already had some of these bookmarked from a while back. I primarily use Google Search to comb the forum anyways (using Chrome browser).
in the address bar I just start typing community (which auto completes to spiceworks.com) then press tab. Type in whatever it is I'm looking for and bam. Everything I'm looking for in the results. Only Spiceworks website.

The new UI does have it's drawbacks, and there are many of them. Already lengthy discussions being had about it.
However, if you haven't noticed, you can actually post videos now in the threads.

@scottalanmiller Also, http://community.spiceworks.com/feed
Just make that your homepage. It has some of these links already.

That was a long time ago. The new lack of navigation is since last week.

That's the page that we go to automatically that is so confusing.

I just use Tab + Q to visit the few parts of the site I use. I occasionally will click a featured post or something from my feed.
So for me the new interface is really no different.

No, that discussion is still being had. The navigation changes hit a lot of people by surprise. I just started defaulting to /feed and using Chrome browser search methods.

That page and tab + Q are the only ways I know how to navigate around the SW community.
I couldn't ever really navigate it too well anyway. It's always had poor navigation -

I wish I could just have feeds for Windows Server, AD & GPO, PowerShell and Windows 10 questions. I think I can do RSS feeds, but that means getting another app.
