There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.

Please try the following:
Open the vnboards.ign.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

500 error looks to be their problem. I know earlier today the forums were not responding to me for a few hours. Try it again later.

So it's still happening 2 weeks later?
What's the exact url you are trying to access? And what browser (version as well) are you using?

Firstly, for block some IGN ads, in your windows/sytem32/drivers/hosts file set:
adserver.ign.com 127.0.0.1
ads.ign.com 127.0.0.1
Next Options/Update - update your critical patches and IE first ... also make sure your running IE 6 - if not download from softie.
Lastly take McAfee free trial on virus scanner and run it.
Those are the first things I'd try imho.

poor psych.
if you can figure out how to get remote desktop working, i'll remote desktop in and debug for you.
or you can send a remote assistance thing to me.
send to
richiew91@yahoo.com, and aim me if you do send it.
