My trick is to close the browser, dump all the caches and try it fresh, first thing you open the browser. I don't know why, helps every time for me....

We are working on restoring the servers, so things are going to be a bit odd for the next few days. Please give it awhile and try again. We are running 4 servers worth of stuff on 2 servers until we get everything back in place, which is slowing everything down.

Not sure, but I know the net has been really wacky these last three days...

I am on a 1.5mbit adsl connection and some sites open in a blink and others trudge along.
There is no aparent ryme of reason for it either and it isn't any specific area on the planet. It might have something to do with the massive DOS attacks that have been taking place this last week though...

the massive DOS attacks

I didn't know about those... /me goes to find a news story.

Is that why my browser just wouldn't connect sometimes?

GM, might not be in the news, check out ZoneAlarms website, it was their servers being used for routes and such....

Also I'll dig up the link to the story from a tech site with an article on it if you like?
