Erika, I have not had the problems since last week, although I haven't been online as much either. I think the "in between place" that the hosting facility was building to move the forum to MIGHT have been the problem.
I don't think it was with MY computer or server because there were alot of other people complaining that they could not get on OR stay on when I was having my problems. Anyway, as frustrating as it was, it seems to be cleared up now!
Thanks!
Trish
