What's happening to this forum?

What is happening to this forum? 
I tried to post on another section found it hard to find where to post, when I did couldn't find how to start a new post. Then when I did It wouldn't let me publish it say something about a link when there wasn't any link. 
It's has if they don't want to use away with this forum.

    <<< this you must have spotted as the way to start a new thread.

     

     

    The HTML type of error I believe you refer to I find can be triggered when content from a web page is Select / Copy / Paste into the forum.   To get past this I've pasted the text into Notepad and then re-copied it for posting in this forum.

      I was trying to post a screenshot from my PC and using the camera icon and selecting from computer.

       

  • I have exactly the same problem (Sept 28, 2025). I haven't logged in to the forums for several years, but logged in now with a query, but I cannot see any button to start a new discussion. There is nothing but a list of the latest threads, which I can see if I want, but I have no way to create a new thread. Can anyone help? The live chat with VM staff is totally useless.

  • Go to the specific forum you want to start a discussion in rather than just the overall list of latest threads. Pick the forum from the menu at the top.

    Do you see the start thread button then?
