I also get this problem from time to time - I use Vista and Firefox most of the time however when I do have problems it also occurs in IE. I think its just a connectivity issue with the domain at certain times of the day. :s

I still get this problem, but must admit over the last few weeks it seems better than it has been.

I usually find clicking refresh a few times and it eventually lets me in.

I have been fine for weeks, but couldn't get on at all yesterday

Dont know if anyone found a reason for this, but I have been finding it happening quite a lot since Christmas (particularly this morning). It doesnt matter what OS I use (XP on one machine & Vista on others), but when it loses the site & I Google it, I can usually see the cached image from the day before, but not the active page.
Very annoying - think it must be the site service provider, or one of the links along the way, cos other sites open ok.

I've never had a problem but I did have that same problem on a tropical fish forum at one time. If I couldn't get on with Internet Explorer I had to try Firefox or Opera and it usually worked with them. I eventually found out it was something to do with that firewall that I can't remember the name of and no longer have. If anyone was to mention the name of it I would probably remember

Don't you just love computers and the internet?

Arrrgh, this is exactly what has happened to me over the last week when using 3 mobile broadband on a Vista laptop from home using IE, Firefox, anything.. I've tried everything. Cookies, cache, temp files. I'm in the IT trade so I tried pinging the site, nslookup and tracert to the site address and it fails every time as if the the 3 DNS can't find the SW DNS or server. (Technical rant over). Its driving me mad and I only get to view the site when I'm at work

I've had a lot more problems getting in since I changed my computer. I just keep trying different links and I get there in the end. I'm now on Vista
