Lately, whenever I go to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums

I get redirected to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/categories
(the german version of the site)

I'm accessing the site from Hartford, Wisconsin, which, last I checked, was not exactly in the same neighborhood as Germany.

Interesting. At some point, you've probably selected De-De in the locale drop down (Upper right on the page) or went straight to that link.

Anyhow, to resolve this, clear our your browser cookies. This should fix it.

Thanks.

Wierd. Something else is setting those cookies to default to different locales. Do you happen to have 3rd party plug-ins for your browser? What browser and version are you using btw?

I'm not so sure its a cookie issue, as I'm pretty sure I never selected the the De-De locale. And to top it off, the issue seemed to resolve itself for a couple weeks, but now its redirecting to the Italian site instead.
