I posted a question in this forum and quickly received email notification of
a reply (and the reply was a good one). But the email contained a clickable
link to take me to the post: Please read the response...increase the quality
of answers in the discussion
group. <A

and clicking on that link produced only a blank page.

Likewise, when I am in this forum and then log in via my mspassport, it
tries to return me to where I came from, but in fact it says, for URL
http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/aspx/pp...?wa=wsignin1.0 , "Internet
Explorer cannot find this page".
