Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!

Having to refresh pages 12 times to get them to load is driving me nuts. This is the only site I have trouble with.

I switched to IE9 on my other (windows 7) computer and had a similar problem. IE8 on this xp machine is fine.

Clean your cash out if you have not done it already.

Also the F5 key will do an new page reload. I have seen the same page stay a few times. I just do a reload from my faviorites.

I was going to make a joke about C4 owners and cash then looked at the OP's profile---as a retired millionair, cleaning out his cash could take a while. He can probably afford to have someone clean out his cache for him though.

Corvette Forum would not load for me today for about 3 hours. Not an issue with any other site I visit. It just came back up for me, but loading pages is fairly slow compared to a normal day.

J T will respond shortly. He'll know what happened...

If I go to IB's website and click on automotive forums though...it is still down...They are probably trying to get the sites up and running 1 at a time from their prospective back up servers....just my guess.

I emailed them directly from the whois lookup in case they didn't know but will guess they did if many sites went down.

Not all the details are known at this time, but today's issue has been a network issue impacting all IB sites.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
