Are some people unable to post ?

Everyone just sat in awe watching Klopp's press conference over and over!

I think Ihave a man crush

just got back on, you will be pleased to know

Just got back in after 48 hours ! Problems with authentication on the forum. I sorted it by deleting cookies etc

Ditto. According to Twitter, Betfair Customer Services can't even post.

better gets some tips up quick just in case it goes down again...mesmerised is lost without them

You have a point. I was just about to write this in the tennis forum that every forum seems deader than usual.

But I guess it's just the long term effects of having a lack of people who can actually sign up. Are Betfair still doing their only offering sign up to users rather than anyone can sign up? If so, that will be why. How many people are even offered it? I only know of one person who seemingly posts on the forums who signed up in about the last 2 years.

With hardly any new users coming in, some users disappearing, it's inevitable the forums becomes deader. It's then a knock on effect, as less posts = less encouragement for others to post.

They still offer invites AFAIK because I kept getting directed to a link when I couldn't get in saying you need a 6month active betting history etc...and there are a few late 2014/2015 accounts knocking about.

The British Masters is on but only 1 person has posted today.

I think they're testing the waters, driving people away on purpose before eventual closure due to lack of numbers.

Every forum seems dead these days. It's most noticeable on football forum, because this place always used to have the most posts.

Take that Arsenal vs Man Utd game. That got 133 posts. That would have got about 133 posts 15 minutes into the game a few years ago. No game that isn't a major TV game gets any sort of talk anymore.

Things like the boxing forum seem nearly completely dead.

Real Madrid match last weekend had no posts between kick-off and about 80 minutes!

Yes was just about to comment on that one too. It feels like the number of users is rapidly declining, especially in the football forum.

Just back in.
Angela Merkel took the site down after her boys were thumped.

The best thing about the time when people could sign up straight after being banned, was that people used to make parody accounts such as Mug tree (for money tree) or CalmoanLiedAboutWatney

The darts forum has been fairly busy during this week tournament but that's mostly due to wisewords and his intellectually challenged bunch of friends. 

Since the format change in 2010 the forum doesn't lend itself to quick live in-game chat.

Pre-2010 it was the best forum on the net!

At least we've had a slow withdrawal. Cold turkey would have been worse.

Well for me it has said I need to sign in before I can post.  Even though I have been signed in. Definite glitch somewhere.

wasn't able to post yesterday; cleared cookies and cache end everything fine today

When I tweeted betfair earlier they replied with..
We're unable to post ourselves currently to update customers but it is being looked into what the issue is.

blimey it's working at last. Been locked out for more than a day

wasn't anything to do with cookies or cache - it was the site itself that went wrong

realised that now; nice to delete cookies anyway

Could,nt post last night. Defo site again

Strangest 24 hours on here since Bob Vegas left.

Being one of the politest, liberal and general all round good egg, I thought I'd be banned again

They have all been banned..

It is just us freaks that are allowed to post..

Frightening - we are the chosen few...

I had a month on the dark side it was sheer hell, I had to talk to the missus

Maybe the mods are playing big brother games

48 hours of cold turkey

Paddy Power rehearsing for the overnight removal of the forum on the day Paddy Power Betfair starts.
