Select 'Forum' from the light blue menu line near the top of the new 'Exchange' home page.

If you're using reduced sized windows (or possibly an alternative browser) the 'Forum' option, which is the menu option furthest to the right, may not show. The 'Forum' menu option does not appear to be available on the Sportsbook.

Thanks for the effort jt but can't find it anywhere. Not quite sure why it's so difficult.

If you're on betfair.com/exchange, the forum tab will be the right-most link on the second menu bar (which starts home, in-play, cashout, football, ...). I've seen it say either forum or community.

thanks guys - I just don't have it.

My second menu bar reads

|Home , In-Play, Cash Out, Football, Horse Racding, Cricek , The Ashes, Live Video, Offers, NEws & Tips ----
then a gap to Old Site (underlined) Display Options.

AND THAT'S IT.

No forum or community anywhere.

What am I doing wrong?

bilbobaggins,

I would again suggest that there is a possibility that you may not be using suitable full sized windows or have otherwise, perhaps unknowingly, altered the display settings such that the 'Forum' option is omitted.

If I reduce the size of my windows to approximately 2/3 of the screen size on one of my larger monitors, the second menu bar reads exactly the same as you detailed above (ignoring the typos). The 'Forum' option, which is found immediately to the right of 'News & Tips', is omitted. When using a smaller monitor, such as found on most laptops or notebooks, a much lower reduction in the window size also results in the omission of the 'Forum' option.

It seems unlikely but it may be possible that even if you're using full sized windows, a very small monitor could result in the omission of the 'Forum' option from the second menu bar. On all my monitors, including the smallest of approximately 11 inches, the 'Forum' option displays correctly on the new Exchange homepage when using full sized windows, regardless of the browser I used.

If you haven't already done so, perhaps you could reset you're display settings and browser settings to the default or try a different browser - making sure to extend the windows to full screen size as applicable?

Thanks for the reply jt. For some reason, and I have done nothing  to facilitate this, it has suddenly appeared today - no resizing or anything. Thank you very much for your help . God knows why it was missing.

Happy New Year by the way.

Yes, BF have changed the website in some way such that, no matter how much the window width is reduced by, all the menu options remain displayed correctly.

Happy New Year.
