Ah right, my bad, I misunderstood your post. Yes there are a number of helpful and informative people on here who do understand how a lot of the technology that VM uses works. But at best, now then can advise only.
All of the contacts will be gone now, in the last few months of the VM community forum, it was announced that even the forum staff (VM employees) could no longer perform certain tasks, everything disappeared behind ‘let’s take it to PM (private message) to get further information’ - and then radio silence. Was the issue resolved, if so how, what was the procedure? It strikes me that the whole point of a ‘community forum’ is to share information.
There was one forum team member who did actually take the time to return to threads and update them with results. Possibly she has now been let go for being far too helpful!
There are a couple of members on here who are (were) also VIP members on the VM forum and could pass on issues to the forum team there. But recently most of the posts seemed to consist of ‘oh you need to call Customer Services’, just a means of reporting a broken omnibox or graffiti on a street cabinet.
It’s sad really.

Re: VM Community Forum Move
I've just noticed the Board is still available to Mods. There is a post about phishing from 14 days ago, so it's still operational to a point. Also the "like" buttons seem to be working as well, even though the threads are all locked? Very strange ,,,

ISPreview had an article saying it could be mid year before it comes actively online (if at all) although I don't think there was any insider information to give that opinion any extra credibility.

Re: VM Community Forum Move
Login button & the top menus (apart from the Volt board) are now locked and inaccessible. Main search facility just loops back to the main page.

All of the menus and sub menus are accessible and working for myself. The search facility also works everywhere, for example https://community.virginmedia.com/search?q=error+cs2114 I am using Chrome Version 146.0.7680.80 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Re: VM Community Forum Move
Yes, the site is still working for me as well, search, sign in, notifications and DM's. It could be server synchronisation is still not complete?
