Hi, unlike in the past, we no longer allow self-service updates to your login email address. To modify that, you have to contact Customer Service: http://vmware.com/contact/contactus.html?department=customer_service&ref=http%3A//vmware.com/

You can update everything else in your account profile. If you have any questions about your Communities Username and/or its relationship to your login email, you can send me an email at community_mgr@vmware.com .

Thanks.

I just want to update my profile by clicking on "Edit Communities Profile", but I keep getting an error message saying "Sorry, that email is already taken. Please try something else." I don't want to change my email address, I just want to edit my profile. What am I doing wrong?

Jason - don't know what version of IE7 YOU are using, but I see the same thing as Ken.

The alignment and column formatting looks correct to me in IE7

Is it intentional that the right column (VMware Communities Blog, et al) begins below any left column content? If so, that's a lot of wasted space - and a lot of content in the right column that will never be seen...

RE: Warning: Intermittent System Errors

The Store testing issue has been resolved, but we are seeing some other issues causing System Error: Thread not found messages. We're working to resolve this as quickly as possible, but the issue has been difficult to track down and is taking some time. I'm sorry for the disruption in the meantime. Regards, Robert

RE: Communities Platform Update

I posted the following on the VMware Communities homepage on Friday evening:

"The planned service interruption to VMware Web applications from May 9 - 12, 2008 is now under way. VMware Communities will be available read-only during the maintenance window, except for some periods of outage. While logged-in users may retain full access to VMware Communities during the initial part of the maintenance window, they may be logged out at any time. It is therefore recommended not to post content during the maintenance window."

In other words, login does not work during the maintenance window, but if you were already logged in before the maintenance window began, you should continue to have full access. However, we won't give any further notice before we log out all users to swap out the login / logout function, which will happen at some point during the maintenance window. For this reason, it is recommended not to post during the maintenance window. However, if you post successfully, your post will not be lost.

Regards, Robert

Is the maintenance window not actually the whole weekend? I'm seeing (and making) new posts today (May 10), though the volume of posts is clearly reduced. Should users be worried about losing posts made during the weekend?

This looks fantastic in using the Web technologies to really pull everything together. This is great.
