It's working fine for me. Try clearing out your cookies and sign in again.

connect seems to be having a LOT of problems lately. Just wait till things settle down, afaik they are still porting betaplace to the connect site (correct me if im wrong).

well I sure hope it's fixed soon... I had to get it otherwise...I knew it was ok since I'm a beta tester already...wouldn't have done it otherwise

If you aren't using Internet Explorer, try it. I always get locked out of Microsoft Betaplace if I don't use Internet Explorer. I havn't got any invitations from Microsoft Connect, so I haven't used it, and I wouldn't know if it is still the case.

I kept getting that message and i kept clearing my cookies and then signing in again. After a few times of doing this, it logged in fine.

I'm logged on to it fine now using firefox. No problems since yesterday. Deleting cookies fixed it fine for me.

RE: microsoft connect acting stupid by Lou on 07-22-2005 at 02:11 PM
