I was backed out most of the day. Not sure if it was just our firewall acting up or if the site was in b-fib.

Not our case. We don't work !!! BUT:
between Mike & me, we were non stop all over the Internet since 10AM EST.
No problem anywhere else, but here.

There was a network outage at the data center where the server is located. They have 1,000s of servers there and hopefully they will use this example as a lesson learned and we will not have to experience this again.

Sorry about the inconvience...

No problem Andy. My son worked at a local internet provided for 6 years until last December and I understand these things happen from time to time.

Andy,

Hope you didn't take it as a complaint. I'm in I.T. myself and was thinking that the problem was my Firewall again being it's usual PITA.

Thousands of servers?? Wow, that's a pretty large data center. Got a few air conditioners?

Thanks for the info.

Regards,

Eric

Not sure if it went down but the load times are very slow....

This has been like this for some time. I am not sure how much data is transfered at any given time. This may be the factor that is making load times very slow..

I shouldn't complain seeing how this is free. I am curious if I am the only one around that is noticing the very slow load times to each page I look at..

By the way I am on cable modem. so I am not on dial up.

This morning it went through it's moments, but at 2:30cst it seems ok.
