NoLiMiT06 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Posted today, to bad when you click the link the page is not found... **ACCESS TODAY**ACCESS TODAY**ACCESS TODAY** PRIVATE FORUMS -- Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program Connect with others in the program today: (Login to your dashboard for link) Who Can Access: As a registered member of the Public Preview Program, these forums are now available for you to discuss the program with others that are also registered. These are restricted forums so people outside of the preview program will not be able to access the content. The GamerTag that you used to register into the program is the only authorized participant. Frequently Asked Question: Q. Why can't I access the Private Forum link above? A. The Private Forums require us to use the GamerTag you provided during program registration. Make sure you are using that GamerTag. If you are still unable to access it, likely there was a typo when you submitted it or you'd never previously accessed the regular xbox.com forums. Below are some steps to get you fixed up: 1. Log into xbox.com and post in the standard forums so that you create a presence within the forums 2. Resubmit your GamerTag via the survey section on Connect Once submitted it takes ~5 business days for us to update the permissions for you to access the Private Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoLiMiT06 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 This is all I get when I click the link and when I try going to Community>Forums it just sits there and never loads. I have not been able to load the forums in months.... This link just does not work for me http://forums.xbox.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightwolf20024 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 its working for me , maybe they are slowly rolling it out , you could always check to see if you entered your gamertag right on the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah I was getting the same error, I resubmitted my gamertag but it might just be the system taking its time to work through all the registrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right, I have not been able to access the forums for as long as I can remember. Every time I try to go there from the main site it just sits their and says it loads and never shows up. Only site I have problems with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryster Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Check you dashboards ;) Update 10/17/2011 "...but sharing specific information about the program is a violation of the program agreement" Not sure if that's a public FAQ or not, but don't you think that copying and pasting entire sections of the Connect website to a public forum falls under the category of "specific information about the program"? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not really sharing anything that is public knowledge, I have not shared any links or program specific details about the dashboard update so I will have to say no. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryster Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'd have to disagree. I'd say information from the private connect portal definitely falls into the category "specific information about the program" :) Who cares though, chances are they won't even notice. Just don't be copying anything else and pasting it here or you'll face the wrath of the evil minions of Microsoft :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not really sharing anything that is public knowledge, I have not shared any links or program specific details about the dashboard update so I will have to say no. ;) The updates aren't public knowledge, even if you don't include the links. Microsoft has kicked people out of the updates before (removed their connection abilities), so I wouldn't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-KJ Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Does the new dashboard do anything new with the Network selection? I connect between two different wireless networks and it's a hassle having to retype the password in everytime I make a switch. Why can't there be a checkbox for it to remember it?

We cannot discuss anything during the preview program, plus we still have not been registered to get the update. Still waiting for them to get our console IDs so they can push the update. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for them to get our console IDs so they can push the update. ;) The program is no longer depending on a console ID, but on your gamertag instead. And yes, people are already registered for the update if they can access the private forums on Xbox.com (go to the connect site, you should be able to navigate from there) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my posts on the previous pages. Console IDs weren't used in the sign-up process to make the process easier. That doesn't mean we don't have to input them to get the update later on.

Paul Ferson Veteran Posted October 28, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2011 Check the Connect website, because you'll have a new message to say whether you were a successful entrant or not. Good luck everyone. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathachew Veteran Posted October 28, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2011 Over the next few weeks? It's been over two weeks since this started! Seems to me that the only reason they're doing this is to have fewer consoles to update at once come the release day. It's a bit underwhelming :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
