    Hi, i've been unable to access TMZ.com since yesterday evening, it was connecting perfectly yesterday noon. I've cleared my cookies/cache, checked isitdown.com (says site is working), run a virus check and i've also restarted the router but nothing works.
    I use Google Chrome, thinking it was just an issue with that i've tried different browsers, i have also tried connecting using a different computer and also with my mobile (wifi) all to no avail. 
    I'm not having problems connecting to any other site but TMZ, do you have any idea what the problem might be?

    a quick check, is everybody who can't access TMZ on eircom e-fibre? i am anyway. maybe TMZ has blocked this new IP range for some reason.
