Issues with community redesign

I posted this under Your Thoughts on the Community, but I thought I'd post here too, because  the only sections that appear on the latest posts list are Tech Support and Account and Billing. 

[1] Community guidelines are missing

There's topic with that title under "About the community," but the guidelines are gone. 

[2] Latest Posts List

The Latest Posts list only shows posts from Tech Support and myAccount and Billing.  A recent post under Your Thoughts on the Community isn't visible on the Latest Posts list. 

Would it be possible to add all the sections to the list? 

[3] Reporting OPs

It seems we can only report replies. Why can't we report original posts?

    1. While in the About the Community section, there's a Tags section on the right side of the page. In that section is the Community Guidelines tag. If you click on it, it will open that topic, though you have to click on the topic to read it all. Having said this, IMHO, the Community Guidelines should be pinned at the top of the section.
    2. Good catch! Didn't notice that.
    3. There's a gearwheel on the upper right of the page, below your avatar. Clicking on that allows you to report the opening post.

      Thank you!  Before the redesign there was more than that -- there was another post, under a different title, that described other actions -- one of them being getting around the prohibitions for certain terms, such as, for example, the other word for lawyer.  It was a violation of community TOS to use other words, such as att0rn3y to get around that.   That other post is no longer there. I wonder if it's OK to say [synonym for lawyer] now.   I can't preview messages, so I'll post this and see what happens. 

      Update: Nope, still not ok.  I'd love to see the old post with those guidelines back.  Amanda ?

      ETA: not sure why [synonym for lawyer] cannot be used.  It seems peculiar to me, given that lawyer can be used.  BTW, I'm  using the word because I don't remember which other words were suppressed, except [synonym for lawyer] and [a type of legal action].

      Replying to your point at #3: I did a test, and I  hope a mod will confirm if I reported the right post. 😊

      Interestingly, I can't click the "like" button under your post.  Consider it liked.😊
