An obvious place is in a dedicated subforum of a forum with some structure. ST instead has this buggy tag-based mess. And no, making a page or menu with simple shortcuts to those tag filters doesn't make it into a usable forum. It's as usable as a forum, as a Ford Model T is usable as a car nowadays. Can the decision making employees see the difference between this mess and some real forum?
And Jan is right - ST doesn't listen either. There have been multiple surveys and Camilo interviewed the most active users individually and thoroughly. What's the point of doing that if almost nothing has been done to fix the reported issues? I'm not even talking about big changes, but even the most basic ones are ignored. The "remember me" on a login page still doesn't work. The bug, which requires loading each topic twice (because first time the buttons are missing the text), has not been fixed. While writing posts, writing @ symbol also still doesn't show the list of users at a first time. Longer topics are still pain to read because of "More answers". Not only quoting has not been implemented, but even taking a simple link to a post is not possible. And yes, we are engineers and understand that it's not a simple task to implement it in this not-a-forum mess. That is exactly the reason why we are saying - ditch it and switch to something actually usable!
As for broken logins... I can also report that there have been two times (during last year, months apart) for me that a password suddenly "is not correct" for no apparent reason and I had to do a password reset. And yes, it was not a user error, because that password is saved in a browser and copied from a password manager. It is also highly unlikely that it "doesn't follow the rules" as it is an auto-generated string of 20 random symbols consisting only of English letters and numbers. Sounds like another bug...
