Edited after clarification from Scott and again after the new forums went live:
 
This change is part of a consolidation effort, however it will effectively end the usefulness of the GP forum. The Archived forum is here: (https://community.dynamics.com/forums/thread/?groupid=0f766bd8-8536-4f68-be4a-0b7feabe2675)
 
The replacement forum will mix GP topics with AX and SL being Finance | Project Operations, Human Resources, AX, GP, SL forum.
 
 
Having two locations (this existing forum and a new forum) to look for answers will break the continuity and mean that people will stop using the forum entirely.
 
Mixing multiple ERP products onto a single forum will generate too much noise for those only interested in a single product. Without a way to permanently filter both the web interface and the email subscriptions to a single product or category, there will be too much irrelevant information from other products that will drive users to other GP focused forums. 
 
Please leave this forum working "as is" at least until Microsoft is no longer supporting  or providing security updates to Microsoft Dynamics GP.
 
All users please comment here to show support.
 
Regards
 
David

    @Joseph Markovich - I agree that we have lost our only remaining public Microsoft GP support.  Thank goodness we still have Terry Heley and our MVPs like @David Musgrave MVP GPUG All Star Legend Moderator.

    Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with a GP-centric forum.

    The GP community forum is worthless now. Thanks Microsoft.
     
    I am truly considering spinning up our own forum just for GP. I know there is the DUG forum out there, but it isn't that great either.

    I completely understand what you're saying, just note that we distinguish Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics AX. I'm assuming that the "AX threads do not have the Dynamics AX category selected" are actually threads about Dynamics 365 Finance (not Dynamics AX) and have Category = Finance.

    Here are the statistics for forum subscription emails sent after 3 weeks.

    GP Emails received = 10
    AX Emails received = 162 (37 with product specified and 125 without product specified).

    So, 6% GP, meaning 94% of the emails received so far are irrelevant to me.

    Even if you include the categories in the subscription email, Outlook rules will not work as 77% of AX threads do not have the Dynamics AX category selected.

    We have even had some emails for threads where no category has been selected at all. I thought a category was required.

    Scott, PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS.     😢

    Here are the statistics for forum subscription emails sent after 2 weeks.

    GP Emails received = 9
    AX Emails received = 102 (25 with product specified and 77 without product specified).

    So, 8% GP, meaning 92% of the emails received so far are irrelevant to me.

    Even if you include the categories in the subscription email, Outlook rules will not work as 75% of AX threads do not have the Dynamics AX category selected.

    Scott, how much longer do we have to put up with this?

    Here are the statistics for forum subscription emails sent after 7 days.

    GP Emails received = 4
    AX Emails received = 48 (12 with product specified and 36 without product specified).

    So, 8% GP, meaning 92% of the emails received so far are irrelevant to me.

    Even if you include the categories in the subscription email, Outlook rules will not work as 75% of AX threads do not have the Dynamics AX category selected.

    Scott, this cannot continue as is.

    Thank you, David, for doing the work to look into this.  I have given up on the forums for now and am now being annoyed by the inability to mark all the Notifications as read so I'm stuck with an alert every time I log in.  (And I'm not willing to take the time to slowly and methodically open each one to clear it.)

    Here are the statistics for forum subscription emails sent after 3 days.

    GP Emails received = 3
    AX Emails received = 29 (11 with product specified and 18 without product specified).

    So, 9% GP, meaning 91% of the emails received so far are irrelevant to me.

    Even if you include the categories in the subscription email, Outlook rules will not work as 62% of AX threads do not have the Dynamics AX category selected.

    Scott, this cannot continue as is.

    Jac_Rod -

    Unfortunately, the Dynamics User Group alerts have the same issue that Microsoft's forums have:  We aren't able to subscribe to just the topics that are related to us so the email with the notifications are for everything.
