Default Connection problems??

I know this may not be the correct area for this but I'm having problems loading/connecting to other CF areas.

Just wondering if others are having issues or if it is time to put the "ole PC" out to pasture. I have a CF bookmark in my favorites and when I click it I get a message something like "connection failure" or "link not found". To connect now I had to find another thread I had saved in the C2 Forum and then "back into the forum". This doesn't happen all the time but from time to time, and it seems the only forum I have problems with are the CF, none of the others I try.

Anyone else with similar issues or suggestions? Thanks, Shooter

AGHHHHH!! Just as I tried to post this I got "THE" message: "Connection has reset" WTF!!

Same here - site is slower than molasses today, and keeps dropping out, regardless of which browser I use; the server must not have had breakfast today. Takes up to a minute to bring up a thread after clicking.

Was going to say that all was working fine with me, but clicked on the "Post Reply" button and had to wait an unusually long time for the screen to change. With luck the baby will be burped and all will return to normal.

Now the direct photo upload doesn't work either - after you browse and select the images to upload and click on the "upload" button, the box goes blank.

Well I am still "stuck" in XP land, and plan on staying here "forever". Why would I change if it works? Kind of why I drive a 47 year old Corvette!

And yes, I was have connection issues as well (only with the forum).

I am having trouble with pictures. I don't have any at all on my computer. All other forums and web sites I go on do not have this problem. Anybody know what this is about, or am I the only one?
