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

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.

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.

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"? :-)

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. ;)

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 :)

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.

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. ;)

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) ;)

They've never stated that. 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.

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 :(

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
