Link to Bug Report Forum on Forum help page is dangling...

Question
-
The link Bug Reporting Forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/reportabug/threads/) on page Answers > Forums Home > Help (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/help) is dangling. Makes it a bit more complicated than necessary to find this forum...
Cheers, Michael

Hello Brent,
unluckily I think you misunderstood Michael original point.
Because some time passed, I too would like to report same issue again but let me explain and guide you (or others) how I too reached same sentence.
As of now even from your own 'Forums preferences' profile page you should be able to find on right side a 'Help' URL that leading to an intermediate page stating :
"The Frequently Asked Questions has Moved
The Forums help file has been moved to the Community Wiki. Please update any bookmarks you may have."
Now a part from correcting that 'Help' URL once you or anyone reach 'Forums Help (FAQ) - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki' you can find 'How do I report issues with the Forums?' question, and then there's this other sentence :
"How do I report issues with the Forums?
You can report bugs, suggestions, and other issues for Forums, by performing one of the following actions:
-
Bug: If the issue seems like a bug in the forums code, go to the Bug Reporting Forum and report the bug
by using the template provided in the top forum thread.
..."
But once anyone reach that Forum, now called 'Forums Issues (not product support)' there's no real forum bug reporting template in the top forum threads (as of now I only found 'Verify Your Account 15' and 'How to report spam') and also to find this post thread I really had to search for "report a bug".
Regards
Rob
