Hello P.Brian.Mackey.

There are several MSDN Forums related to Visual Studio where you can ask your questions. Here's a listing

Visual Studio Development: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/visualstudio
Visual Studio Languages: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/vslanguages
Visual Studio Design and Architecture Tools: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/vsarch
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/vstfs

Bye.

Hi,

Well, the page at the first link has a Forums link at the bottom (under "Community"), the second one has a "Self Support Options" section, which also has a link to the Visual Studio related forums.

Regards,

Zoli

Sorry, I do not understand how those links answer either question? I clicked through them and they take me right back to the broken link I originally posted.

Luigi - Thanks, I have already posted my question in the visual studio forums. The problem is that the VS Forums directed me to Microsoft Connect. Microsoft Connect then directed me to http://support.microsoft.com/ for instant support for high importance issues. The aforementioned link directed me to the bad link in my original post.

In other words, the problem is not that I can't find a forum. It is that I cannot access Microsoft Support as recommended by Microsoft Connect.
