Freecodecamp: Bad link in https://contribute.freecodecamp.org/#/

Created on 20 Nov 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

Describe your problem and how to reproduce it:
There is a bad link on the https://contribute.freecodecamp.org/#/ page. The link to 'help by answering coding questions' takes you to https://forum.freecodecamp.org/c/help which says "Oops! That page doesn鈥檛 exist or is private."

Add a Link to the page with the problem:
https://contribute.freecodecamp.org/#/

Recommended fix, suggestions (how would you update it?):
I tried looking around the forum for the page that that used to link to but I am not sure. I would say it could just go to the home page.

If possible, add a screenshot here (you can drag and drop, png, jpg, gif, etc. in this box):

Nice catch! This link broke when we restructured our subforum categories, I believe.

The link is located in this file: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/master/docs/_coverpage.md, and could be updated to redirect to the base forum URL I think.

@gsigler @nhcarrigan When I click on the link from https://contribute.freecodecamp.org, it loads the forum in he Project Feedback category. There is not error. We did not change that category on the forum. It is still the same.

@raisedadead Any thoughts?

@RandellDawson I get the Project Feedback category off the second link ("Give feedback on coding projects"), but on the "Help by answering coding questions" I'm getting a 404.

I agree with adding a link to https://forum.freecodecamp.org for Help by answering coding questions. I have opened this issue up for first timers only.
