Current forums will migrate to the new platform starting later this year. In the mean time, to visit them go to http://forums.microsoft.com/.

So Andrew, can I tell the VB Insiders when these are going to come online? The reason that I ask is that the 2.x forums at this point are unusable. To answer a single question a few minutes ago incurred 5 40+ second waits. I can't afford to donate that much time when the newsgroups are far, far more efficient--not as pretty, but work faster and are easier to deal with.

Hi William-

We have released some fixes to the existing Forums 2.4 platform to deal with the slow performance and the unknown error messages. We are posting updates to: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3300328&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3312165&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3306074&SiteID=1. There is information also being posted to the bug reporting forum at: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=53&SiteID=1

Give them a try now and let us know if you continue to see problems.

Thanks!

You guys did not answer the question. When will the forums be migrated? It is torture to not be able to post or reply on the 2.x forums. I am logged off when I attempt to do either. The only "fix" I have seen is tossing my cookies. I do that and it does work for a couple hours. But, then it goes back to logging me out. I would of course post my continuing issue over there but I can't. ;-)

The new forums look great and seem to work well. I can't wait to start using them.

I just posted more details on our release going live next week, as well as the first forums that will be migrating to the new platform.
