No sign in button on this web page

[donbowyer]

Windows XP
I want to go to either the Office or Windows XP Discussion Group pages and
sign in to post a question.
However I no longer have a sign in button on either site, which help says
should be in the top right corner although I do have the Edit my Profile
button.
I have a .NET Passport.
The only way I can sign in is to click New / Question which brings up the
sign in page.
However when I enter my details and hit the sign in button this brings up:-
“Internet Explorer cannot display the webpageâ€.
If I then hit the browser back button I get the page back and I’m signed in
OK.
Where has the sign in button gone?

You'll be FAR better off using a news reader rather than the horrible web
interface.

How to set up OE (or Windows Mail) as a News reader:

Hi Gordon
Thanks for the suggestion
I've tried to add the Office User Group / community to Outlook Express but
can't find a suitable name that OE recognises, nor can I find one by
searching.

Hi Don,

The news server for these discussion groups for Outlook express is
