    Hi! Is it just me or the MSDN page is down? I keep getting an "Unable to Service Request" error message when entering to http://msdn.microsoft.com/[^]. Anybody else's got the same problem?

      Thanks! So this is why one should download MSDN content from Visual Studio rather than have the online option enabled... ;P

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

          MDSN help completely sucks. That their page is down is no great loss. Google is your friend.

          If it's not broken, fix it until it is

            There is an easy way to check this: isup.me[^] - but MSDN is up and running at the moment.

                Nice, thanks! I'll use this isup.me site instead, the next time!

                  Even when all the links Google finds point to MSDN, those links lead to pages that are relevant to the search. That rarely, if ever happens searching MSDN directly.

                        I get the same message even when the site is up, rather indirectly :-)

                          Yes, that's what I do, usually a "SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog parameter options site:msdn.microsoft.com" Google search. MSDN search sucks, I know. Still, this kind of documentation is usually only available at MSDN site, hence having the page down causes problems to good ol' me.
