    Since last week, I've been unable to post new messages in the Visual FoxPro forum. That's because the new UI doesn't include that forum in the lists for Forum Category/Forum.

    Is this going to be fixed soon?

    Looks like the MSDN Visual Foxpro forum was recently archived (locked). All MSDN / TechNet forums will close soon and currently supported product forums will be migrated to QnA

    That's a bummer. No announcement was made and I don't think the forum is going to be migrated. It means less resources for die hard VFPers.

    Yeah, not making an announcement seems like really bad management. Microsoft personnel have managed to come around and ask whether questions have been answered satisfactorily pretty regularly. Seems like they could have posted an announcement.

    As far as I know the only announcements (other than the migration announcement) are as stickies in the forums being migrated. You can make the suggestion for addition over here on QnA using the Site Feedback

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/index.html

    For what is worth I also just asked them to post something in the forums planned for abandonment.

    Hi Tamar,

    I've been asking what it's going to happen with the Visual FoxPro forum, this is what I'm seeing at the top of the forums as a new announcement:

    The following forum(s) are migrating to a new home on Microsoft Q&A: All English Visual FoxPro, Visual Studio Development, SQL Server forums!

    Ask new questions on Microsoft Q&A.
    Interact with existing posts until August 31, 2020, after which content will be closed to all new and existing posts.

    The following forum(s) have migrated to Microsoft Q&A: All English Microsoft Azure forums!
    Visit Microsoft Q&A to post new questions.

    So, there is a possibility of having VFP forum in the new platform (which a I tried a few times and didn't like at all, but there will be no choice but to accept it once the forums move)

    Looking for new opportunities
