What has happened to the tab that you click on to get to the betfair forum

It's missing from the homepage.

Yep, gone for me as well-they seem to be aware of it, just chatted to them.

It's like the Cheshire cat, sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't.

You can always get here if you open a new tab on your browser and type Community Betfair in the search box.

Had to come in through the back door.

Think they are playing games with us to see who have the relevant skills...

Have Forum tab but doesn't work.

I called Help Desk and they said everybody was very busy working on the Y2K project
and then moving on to clocks change at end of October, scheduled for mid-Nov implementation.

HTH Confused

It's not some glitch they are trying to fix .

They don't want a forum and so don't want anyone new to find out it exists.

Posting level is at 15% of what it was in 2012 , because they have only allowed about 50 people to join since then. This site would be as busy as any Sports forum without these restrictions.

Why we have this slow death rather than them just pulling the plug i don't know , maybe because the forum was originally seen as one of the things that made Betfair stand out from other betting companies and they want to maintain some vestiges of Betfair's original ethos of being different . So closing it might seem too obvious a break with that.

I expect they will eventually say it was closed due to lack of use (having prevented most of their customers using it or even knowing about it )

Maybe though there will just be no announcement and it will just disappear out of the blue.

The end can't be far off either way imo
