No problem here. I am retired and spend a lot of time on and off the forums all day. Are you using a dialup or cable?

No issues here, It does seem very slow at times. But always loads up.

No problems here,,at least not with any regularity. Every now and then get an occasional glitch,,usually at night. 8-9 AM should not be a problem. Might want to call you I P and see if THEY have been working on the service or if you have a connection problem. I have cable company access,,and every now and then they are tinkering or upgrading and have problems then,,,BUT that is only once in a very great while!! Then again it MIGHT be a computer problem,,maybe picked up a virus or have an actual hardware or software problem with your computer!!

Once I could not access the forum for over three days, turns out that it was my browser that got some sort of virus and would allow me to get onto any other website except this one. I just reinstalled Firefox and that pretty much fixed the problem but it happened to me again last night so I just restarted my computer and its been working fine since then.

No problems here with FireFox 3.6.10. Try deleting your browser's cache. Are you running any kind of ad blocker? I'm on the forum off & on all day from about 9 AM to midnight and hardly ever see any slow downs.

I had a problem a few weeks back where I couldn't get into the forum at all, regardless of time of day. After more than a week, I contacted one of the vendors (Gene Culley) and he suggested a virus. So, I cleaned all my PCs (3) and still couldn't get in!

On a WAG I disconnected power to my cable modem/router and voila, all better! I don't know how a virus could have gotten inside my firewall, from my side I guess, but that's what must have happened.

So, try pulling the power from your modem/router/whatever and see if that helps!

I'll try some of the suggestions.. I'm using Firefox 3.6.11 and have two confusers not working and I've been traveling and other networks/modems have acted the same...

I can get on in the mornings but after maybe 8am CDT no luck until the next morning.. and
I'm not getting up at 3 to test.. ;-)

Ok... It's failing (on Firefox) and it's 8:35 CDT BUT what's interesting is that I brought
up IE (Explorer) and it seems to be working fine... Hmmm... interesting...

Same thing happened to me. Try uninstalling Firefox and then download/install it again.
