    Sign in error

    When I try to sign in to Microsoft Communities to read, for example, THIS
    news group, I get this error:



    Windows Mail in unable to use Microsoft Communities
    features at this time. Please try signing into Microsoft
    Communities again later.

    A similar error occurs if I don't sign in initially, but instead sign in
    when I try to send a message to, for example, this group.

    In addition, when I'm sending I get an error saying my message was posted
    successfully (yes, it says "successfully") and followed by a long
    description of the error which, in effect, says the same thing the above
    message says.

    When I look later, my message has been posted. I get replies from folks, so
    I guess it's really out there.

    I'm at the "this is annoying" stage. Things seem to work, but I'm getting
    error messages every time I try to sign in, post a message, or post a reply.

    Here's what I got posting the original message in this thread:

    ----BEGIN----
    Your message was successfully posted. However, Windows Mail was unable to
    contact the community server, so rating, category, and other community
    information was not included with the message. See the News error log for
    details. Subject 'Sign in error', Account: 'Microsoft Communities', Server:
    'msnews.microsoft.com', Protocol: , Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
    200, Error Number: 0x8007000D
    ----END----

    And I just remembered. This started after I replaced my motherboard, RAM
    and CPU. I did the phone thing to re-activate, and it's shows that it's
    properly activated.

    I didn't notice the problem for a day or two because I don't post to these
    groups every day.

    Hello Bill,

    You can ignore the error messages - the Community Server is broken, hence
    the unable to sign into Communities message. You can still post as normal.

    For the time being, disable the Community features via Accounts, msnews
    account, properties, Windows Live ID tab.

    Hi Jane,

    Does someone at MS plan to fix this in our lifetime?

    Thanks. It eliminates the annoyance of getting warnings I'm going to ignore
    anyway.
