It looks like any kind of feedback about the forum has vanished so hopefully a guru will see this who maintains the forum.
I run a contest (which encourages the use of your SP,EP,GP's btw) and I need to update the first page for new challenges, but it won't let me edit. It just goes to an approval black hole. Can you fix this?

Not sure who to tag to get this information to someone who can correct this issue. @SimGuruDrake, would this be something under your purview?
Please fix the forums !! Thank you !!

I'm not even sure how to contact the customer support here, but I guess I have to find out now.

Even worse to see that the admins who fix the forums seem to be completely ignoring all of the feedback. Not sure if this means they are planning to close the forums in the near future or something ; but hopefully this isn't the case.

I don't think that they are ignoring the feedback, it's just that EA may had a skeleton staff this past week as this past Thursday was Thanksgiving Day for the States and I do believe that must of the SimGuru's/SimStaff had a long holiday leave. I believe they did the same thing last year around this time of the year...
And as for some of the SimGuru's names listed in the post in this page, SimGuruGrant hasn't been back on the forums since last year in September, SimGuruHydra isn't a SimGuru anymore as she stepped down from that position last year in September and she has it posted on her page. And the other ones with the exception of SimGuruRusskii hasn't yet been on this new site yet. So they may not even be SimGuru's anymore or may not even be with EA since EA had closed down some of their offices not located in CA. I do believe that it's @SimGuruDrake who looks out for the forums now...
Edit to say that I'm wondering if it might be a browser issue as I use IE and had edit an old thread that I made last year to add some more pictures and comments on.

I did try to edit my thread's first post with both Chrome and Firefox and got the same “Your discussion will appear after it is approved” message, so I assumed it must be a site error. I never tried IE though.
ETA: Using IE now... nice to be able to see italics. However, I was still unable to update my post and got the same message that it needs approval.
I haven't had anything get deleted, but I know of several people who have. Hopefully when the holiday break is over, a fix can be found.

I was able to use a work around by manually typing in quote=name in brackets before the copied text and closing it with /quote in brackets at the end.

Well said @ciane !!
Who cares? Where are the SimGurus now?
It doesn't really say many positive things about the Sims (and company, which host the forums) commitment to the community if these major issues on the official forums are just completely ignored or brushed under the carpet as if they didn't happen. If they want to retain a strong community, there are clearly heavily understaffed to do so- I can't think of any other forum of this calibre where there is effectively only one member of active stuff (and to say active there is even a dubious statement).
I guess, if the issue persists I must ask- are there any popular unofficial forums for the Sims, where people regularly share their lots/screenshots for others to see (like the showcase I have here, but can no longer edit)?

There is Sims VIP forum. I've never been there, but if we make a mass exodus, I would follow! We could rally together somehow.
This does worry me about the health of The Sims franchise. I remember playing (and loving) The Sims Social--was heavily involved in designing and invested lots of money and poof. It was gone in a matter of months with no warning (otherwise I would have stopped buying new objects.) All of that is down the drain and I can't even play any of the items I bought.
Will The Sims go that way? I hope not but this slow and methodical apathy is glaring. First, the gurus stopped having their monthly chats. Then they stopped having their story contest. And now only one guru ever comes in here to update us on the latest patch. What's going on? Have they laid off gurus so those who used to come here are so busy, they don't have time for the forum? Yipes.
We would appreciate some kind of answer.

This is exactly what I get. I was trying to update my builds thread and I can't.
I found the issue was something which had previously worked fine, but now seemed to be glitched and couldn't be re-posted into any new post, or edited in any other post. It was the syncing between a "word" (in my case "Download") and the url which I had linked that word to (in my case a link to the gallery).
I found that by editing my post to remove all the url linked words and then placing the url link after the word, I was able to fix my problem and edit my posts as normal .

Yeah, actually I had the same issue. Most of mine weren't from Photobucket; but I switched a few of the ones which were out during the process of sorting things out, so that is probably another cause of the issue.
