Problems accessing MrExcel forum?

[Andrew Fergus]

Hi

Is anyone else having trouble accessing this forum?

There have been a number of instances in the past week where I get either a "timed out" or a "database not found" error. I'm using the Firefox 1.07 browser and the upgrade from Firefox 1.06 to 1.07 is about the only change at my end.

Are others having the same or similar issues?

Andrew

no.. I"m a firefox user, too - also upgraded. Haven't seen any problems... do you eventually login or do you have to wait awhile before trying?

I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I get it at work too and we're using Windows 2000. Sometimes during the day it takes an incredible length of time to view the forums, and sometimes they time-out altogether.

I presume it's because of traffic, or they're working on something, but I'm not sure.

If I had to guess, it would be a proxy server cache at your workplace not being flushed. I've had the same problem elsewhere with I.E.

Probably not much you can do about it at your workplace, at home, try flushing your proxy server cache if you're using one.
