- 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!
Alicia
Program Manager, Sustained Engineering Team - 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.
JoelP - SharePoint Developer and C# MCP - 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.
