Does site go down periodically?

Is it just me, or my computer, that finds frequently when I come to BikeRadar that I can't get on? The message is always the non-legit-url message. It's frustrating because it'll happen in the middle of following a good thread and it'll be a day before I can get back on again. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    No, it would be the five-seven am slot, EST, and then the 10-11:59pm EST slot - just when you have the time to actually be using the computer for leisure - but it hasn't happened today. Last time this happened was thursday and friday, last week, that I saw- Thanks

    I had problems accessing the site/forum with Firefox on Saturday.

    It was fine through IE though.

    nope i am running FF and looking at your times cant say i have had any probs then.

    today there have been a few posting error messages but things have worked.

    10-11:59pm EST that is very asleep time for me so no comment.

    The site has been showing as the URL being down beginning from 3:47 est yesterday until just now - FYI - I pulled up IE and got the same result? I'm using a wireless connection and no other sites have been doing this?

    been fine all day. has to be something with your connection over the water.

    as you can check by looking at some posting times.

    wow- first time I've been able to get on in a while. I'm going to be moving to a mac soon - knock on wood that'll help - I really like the site, mostly because it's cycling plus humor - shame to miss out- thanks

    It has to be some issues on your side.

    as it has been fine here.
