Peter of the Virgin help team couldn't put it right, even after having two consultations with his coleagues. He thinks it may be a server fault, so perhaps all will be well soon if they manage to put it right.
I did glean one piece of useful information - where to go to alter user settings. I'd several times searched the Virgin site in vain for that, but now I know where it is.
Readers who'd like to know should look at:
https://selfcare.virginmedia.com
you can't do much there apart from change passwords and defined extra email addresses, but that little is better than nothing.
I've also discovered that I have 200 MB of web space.
If all who have Virgin broadband used all their web space, many new servers would be needed.

I'm not keen on this whole idea of using the web space that's given to you by your ISP. What happens if your bank makes a mistake with the payment and VM cut you off? Or what if you want to change ISPs, to take advantage of a better offer? The free web space is just a transparent ploy to lock you in to their service, I'm afraid.
You might want to have a look at Google Sites, http://sites.google.com/, which seems a sturdy alternative for more than just blogging.
Thanks for the hint; I'll look at the Google stuff.
I shouldn't lose any data if the Virgin web space disappeared, because I have copies. However it would be inconvenient to have to direct people to a new site.
I may set something up on Google and give that address to people, but still use the Virgin web space for some files.
