Xilinx forums have disappeared?

That link works for me. They've changed the front page, but you can click on the word DISCUSSIONS to get the previous look of the forums. When you just land on the page it selects FEATURED instead of DISCUSSIONS.

Looks like the new format just went live today. You might have caught them at a bad moment. Announcement is here:

Thank you very much, Gabor. It would be a real disaster if the whole knowledge base created by Xilinx u sers and employees had disappeared forever.

Best regards, Wojtek

It's not exactly that the content is lost, it's that old links don't work a nymore. They've broken much, much more. Here's an official list of broken stuff: (it doesn't include everything, fo r example some answer records disappeared)

Link does not work, I cant find my topic by title in their search engine. F or me its lost. Or there is some magic way to get it which Im not aware of.

Ive asked Avrumw if he has archived his most valuable posts. Here is what h e replied: ``` Unfortunately, no. These posts are just as lost to me as they are to you.

My suggestion is that you write a carefully worded post to the announcement s board indicating exactly how this migration has affected you and your abi lity to get work done. We are actively trying to apply pressure to Xilinx t o mitigate the effects of this disastrous migration, but need the support o f the community to get our voices heard. If there is a particular post you are looking for I might be able to find i t, but even knowing how some posts were written there are some that I can't find; there are still some posts (apparently 5000 topics) that never got m igrated over, so it is possible that some of them do not currently exist.

It is a sad statement on the nature of the FPGA commercial interests when t hey ignore their customer base. Or more accurately, they don't understand their customer base... or even more accurately define their customer base t o exclude nearly everyone in this forum.

I recall a mapping data base that Microsoft provided on the web which was r etired. It was a nothing for them to maintain it, less than a gnat's effor t for a Goliath like Microsoft. We had enough outcry and in particular fro m one of our ranks (which likely only numbered in the low thousands) that t hey relented and restored service... for a while. Then it was shut off per manently. Here I expect the interest is much greater and the loss to Xilin x more significant. The question is do you have an in house champion? I t hink that is what it 's going to take.

The new Xilinx Forum is just so bad, no one seems to answer anymore

Maybe that was the goal?

There is a hope. Somebody has retrieved read only copy of Xilinx forum
