Apparently we can no longer apply for a long term visitor visa? The .gov site channels you automatically to the 6 month visa. I've tried going through the older Visa4UK site as well, and it doesn't give the option either. What gives? This question perfectly describes the problem I'm having, only the answer no longer works.

It looks like it's still an option for people over 18 years old. This from Gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa (Link below):
"If you need to visit the UK regularly over a longer period, you can apply for a long-term Standard Visitor visa that lasts 2, 5 or 10 years. You can stay for a maximum of 6 months on each visit.
If you’re under 18 years old when you apply, your long-term Standard Visitor visa will only be valid for up to 6 months after you turn 18.
Fees A Standard Visitor visa costs £95.
The fee for a long-term Standard Visitor visa depends on its length:
2 years - £361 5 years - £655 10 years - £822 " https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa

Apparently I can't answer the question describing your problem that you had linked, because I don't have enough reputation.
But I finally figure it out.
Once have filled the application and are on the 'Pay' page, go to the very bottom of the page, click on 'Show and edit answers'
It should give you an option to change the years :). I know it's a little too late, but hope this helps anyone else looking for answer to the same question.
