Default access to CF

What's up? It seems I can access every website on the planet except CF. I can click on my bookmark and it will not load. I can click on another bookmark and it will not load. I can enter the address and it will not load. If I do get there by some quirk of fate, I can click on a forum discussion topic and it will not load.

Surely I can't be the only one with this problem. All my other bookmarks and quick links work just fine. ??????

Uhm.... looks like it may be a Google Chrome issue. Not sure why since I've been accessing CF from Google Chrome for months. But it seems to work fine through IE.

No problems for me, using either Firefox or IE 8.

I have tested using Google Chrome and do not appear to be able to duplicate the issue.

Is there an error message from the Chrome browser?

Thanks for the reply. No...there is no error message. When I click on the link in Chrome or even from the "favorites" bar, the browser simply sits and "thinks." This has happened for several days. I can enter the site address in the address bar and reach it quickly, however, after a few minutes and checking a message or two, the problem re-appears.

I've been using IE these past few days with no issues.

Note: I"m using Windows 7 on my laptop if that makes a difference.

It sounds like there is a specific issue with your Chrome browser. As I've not been able to replicate it with my own Chrome installation, and as it appears to be a local issue, I'm not sure I can provide much more assistance. I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome.

Thanks, I'll give the uninstall and re-install and shot. What makes me wonder about that is none of the other sites I access through Google Chrome seem to act that same way. But hey, what do I know!
