Didn't Microsoft used to have forums?
I just got to know what is going on? I haven't been able to access Microsoft forums for awhile now. I'm getting the error below when I try to link to http://forums.microsoft.com:
And if I try any link off the forums.microsoft.com root...such as the one in the right hand panel of the http://msdn2.microsoft.com page...under Communities...my browser just sits there spinning...looking lost and confused. In other words...nothing loads and there is no error message.
So Microsoft...WHAT'S UP!

What is the URL of that error page?
Hmmm...works fine for me!
Hi Robert, the url where I see the error is http://forums.microsoft.com. Dan I'm still seeing the problem this morning...I haven't been able to access the Microsoft forums from anywhere. Could this be a cache thing...?
Yeah, it works for me too. I dunno. It doesn't work for you from different computers and from different networks?
Well I cleaned out my Internet cache and cookie cache and that didn't make a difference. Since both you and Dan can see the site and no matter where I am (using this particular computer) I can't see it...I got to thinking...what if it's being blocked? I checked my Windows Firewall to see if it was on...it was...I turned it off and lo I can now see the Microsoft forums again. I really don't understand why I would get a server error and I don't understand why Microsoft would block its own site. But I'm past the problem that has been plaguing me for weeks. Thanks Robert.
Blocking their sites is strange, but maybe intentional.
Hey, they could make a lot of our systems run faster by not installing their software, too! Think of how snappy my performance would be if I weren't running Outlook all the time! ;-)
