If your are having problems with the site today, reboot your computer

... or clear out the "cookies".

I had the same problem earlier today, rebooted, and have had no problems since.

I realized that those of you who are posting about problems obviously can't read the responses

This is interesting because I've had no problems today in either viewing posts, or responding. Maybe it's just some specific time periods.

Good of you to indicate the fix, entirely in the message header...

Best wishes,

Okay...saw this thread...re-booted (again) and can now read the responses. Interesting!!!

Now to see if I can get into the UK forum, which, BTW, even with re-booting several times yesterday and earlier today, I still have not been able to access!!!

I had problems this morning, but didn't reboot. Instead I logged out, closed my browser, cleared out the Fodors cookies, then relogged on. No problems after that. Knock wood!

I'm still having problems off and on. I deleated cookies, re-booted, and still having problems. I finally got this to come up by clicking on it like 10 times or so. Sometimes even THAT doesn't do it. The editors must know by now that a lot of us are having problems but I find it funny that none of them respond to the problem..yet they will come in on other posts, like the Ibis Hotel thread.

I could open this thread but most of them I can't and I did reboot my computer. So I will try the deletion of temp files etc. Very annoying..I haven't had a problem until today.

I'm a PC user, but still haven't had a single problem with either issue, either yesterday or today. I never rebooted or did anything with cookies. I generally work on a private T1 high-speed business line, not sure if that's any difference (suspect not, but I don't know a lot about these things).

Then consider yourself fortunate that you didn't encounter any problems.

The reboot worked...thanks Ger. Anyone else not get a reply of anysort from Fodors? I emailed them specifically describing the problem. It is the only site I've had any problems accessing. I have a fairly new Mac and high-speed cable connection. Macs don't usually require re-booting.

Just a thought, do all of you receive "automatic updates" from MS? As I said, I rebooted and had no more problems. I have auto-updates turned on. Its possible that solved my problems.

If you don't, go to the MS site (Microsoft.com), chose MS Updates and let it do its thing.

You might want to do this anyway today, as there is a new "worm" out there that is quite nasty.
