Hi

I finally got into the forum.

If you saw the message I posted at the end of the Full Screen post, I have been having a really hard time getting in.

I got in this time by going through that post from my e-mail link.

When I try and connect it always times out, in all browsers.
This has been happening for about 24 hours and occasionally before that in the last few days.

I have tried various links etc, anyone have any idea what is happing?

I can access all other sites in the normal almost instantaneous manner.

I'm hoping that if someone replies to this post the e-mail link will get me back in.

Mike

After getting this posted I tried to access the sites main page again and was unable to.
I will let me back up and edit this message though.

This is very strange.

Everyone's ability to get to the site is currently limited - obviously because of the huge demand for the service pack.

Rest assured we are aware of the problems, and we apologize for any inconvenience it has caused.

I'm just posting this to get a link to this post in my e-mail!

Well that didn't work, I guess doesn't send a post if you comment yourself.

I can still get in by going through the link to Willem's post.
