Getting really frustrated with help not signing in to forums

Just_a_fan

I can sign in manually in the help system or in a browser but then when
I try to get a help from a forum entry via the help system, it tells me
I cannot sign in or the site is broken and throws up this horrible
screen telling me either the system is down or I don't have the right
username/password but WON'T LET ME ENTER IT! Gee, THANKS!!!!

What's going on with VB's help system?

Here's the URL showing when this screen shows up.

https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=...D1033&id=74335

I have been working on a project all day and this has been going on all
day, too and I am really getting irritated.

In VB...

1) Tools|Options
2) Environment|Help|Online
3) Select "Try local, then online" or "Try local only"
4) Click OK to save

This should get you up and running until you work out your connectivity
problems.
