I was actually talking about peoples ability to access the forum at all 'Atom.
It was a DNS issue which was sorted by Piriform.
No problems for anyone now.
agreed - for me anyways.
@TheWebAtom - seems not for everyone though
@SuperFast - yeah, i went crazy and had a massive hissy-fit and did everything i could think of. new profile, reinstalled FF, updated all plugins and extensions, even blew away my Speed Dial extension thinking that was the cause. Nothing helped - nor would it have in hind sight if it was DNS based.
but on a positive note, FF, IE and Opera all 100% Piriform happy !!! (3 or 4 days and counting)
