Answers Forum login problem?
Rick, Ron et al,
I cannot log into the MS Answers Forum at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/excel . Are you also having a problem? When I log in, after a l-o-n-g delay (perhaps 1 min), I get a pop-up labeled Answers Sign Up, One More Step. I must select "I accept Answers Code of Conduct". When I click Submit, the button is greyed out, which usually indicates that the form has been transmitted (albeit not necessarily completely or successfully). But it remains in that state for a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g, now 3 min for sure -- all the time while I have been writing this. I have no problem logging into hotmail.com, which uses the same login and ostensibly the same login procedure (up to a point). I thought about creating a new login id, if only to post the problem to the Answers Feedback forum. But I am faced with the same interminable delays. |

I meant to add that I was suspicious of my computer because my keyboard has been flakey lately. Sometimes, tapping the touchpad or pressing the left-click button does not seem to work. But I notice that the most-recently reply in the Answers Excel forum was posted 8h 46m ago (from now). Given that today is a workday and we are well into the day, especially on the US east coast, I feel more confident that the problem is not mine (or my ISP). If any MVP sees this, it might be helpful to ping your MS technical contacts to ask the Answers Forum supporters to take a look-see. |

It is hard for me to believe that Microsoft does not know it is down. My guess it is under some kind of attack, but that is only a guess (based on some of the other major sites that have been attacked recently). I'll fire a note to my Lead anyway.

Nope, I have not been able to log in most of the day. I just tried it again, going to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...?prof=required and this time got a page stating: =============================== We are sorry... The page you requested is not available at this time. You can try the following: Search Answers Go to the Answers home page ===================================== If I try to navigate to the Answers home page, I am waiting, waiting, waiting ... and it eventually returns to the same message. |

Although I can login, I cannot submit a response. That seems odd because apparently others have been able to post questions and response in the interim. Oh well.... |

Well, there was a survey with a bunch of questions about my "experience" today. I filled it out, reflecting my negative experience. On the final page, it said to press the "Submit" button. Unfortunately, there was no Submit button <sigh. |
