Is there a VB Express newsgroup?

[Lloyd Sheen]

I was using a privatenews newsgroup but that seems to be gone. Any ideas?

Lloyd,
I still see the privatenew newsgroups.

There was a post in the privatenews newsgroup about being converted to web
forums.

Try here:

Hope this helps

I found them. What is MS up to. Lets change from a peer to peer and quick
exchange to a web based slower more difficult to use etc. And once I posted
all I get is

We're Sorry

I am sorry MS but your image is getting tarnished by the day , at
least in my mind.

Is there a way to make this work. I go from VB Express to what is
represented as My Forums. Now as far as I can gather I did ask a question.
But it say I have not. This "better" way of doing things is about as
screwed up as VB Express is.

I cannot even create a debug application. Only "retail" I guess. We are
told that beta's are more carefully release than CTP but this version is
really crap. The number of problems is beyond and now we have lost the
newsgroup to a lessor technology.

I am not normally an MS basher but this experience puts me closer to that
line all the time.

Surely a simple test would have been. File/New Project and to get a
debuggable project.
