    Heyaz,
    This happenes to people once in a while. It's normally something to do with your web browser. Do you see just a grey panel or is there an "x" or something shown in it?

    Do you see the Breaking News scroller on the front page okay? And the Phantom "What's Hot" moving text thingy?

    One thing to try first though (it solves most of my problems): do a full refresh of the page - hold down the CTRL key and hit the refresh button.

    Cheers!
    P.

    It's just grey for me. I can see the other things though.
    Will try refresh later when I'm home, have tried it before though, but will give it another go.

    Try using firefox instead of IE. login comes up fine for me,only the proxy is blocking the connection.

    It could be a proxy / firewall issue, alright. Are ye trying to access this from college or work? If it's your home PC, that shouldn't be an issue if you're just on a modem.

    Home.
    Sure t'is probably better that I can't go in anymore, I spend enough time on the internet as it is. Now if I had the option of the chatroom.....then there'd be a serious problem. :rolleyes:

    May have been my silly laptop - wonkie piece of crap that it is.... Just kidding - it's the best $4000.00 that I have yet to pay for :)

    I'm just happy that the problem worked itself out.... I get so little time in the chatroom - for reasons that do not need exploring at this juncture ;) and thus hate - okay loathe, when I can't get into it for some techie reason.

    So, alls well that ends well!
