Default Inability to read/post to S2ki.

Guys, since Friday I have been unable to get into the site. At best I might be able to bring up a menu or two but that's it.

Today everything is back to normal. Anyone else with similar experiences?

I logged in once each on Saturday and Sunday, no problems.

Sounds like a problem with your ISP?

Not an ISP issue Dan as all other sites run fine. I think you are on the right track Iggy as I had a similar problem around 3 months ago where passwords were not being accepted and I solved it your way.

Well, I've stil got a problem. The laptop works fine - I can access without problems but the desktop PC won't talk to S2ki beyond initial menus - what gives??

Both machines are now sitting at home connected via Bigpond cable. The desktop will talk to any site but S2ki whilst the laptop talks to everything including s2ki. Both machines run identical configs - Win ME and IE 6.0.26 - and the desktop was fine up until Thursday night.

Everything else runs fine on these machines too - I can't figure it out ????

Finally resolved this over the weekend. It turned out that Norton Internet Firewall had some how determined that S2ki was an advertising site and had put it on a list of blocked sites without telling me.

Bloody annoying. Software nowadays is getting too smart for its own good. Why can't we have truly intelligent piece of software that you can ask why you can't access a site and it can tell you??.

I haven't been able to get in for almost a week - I've cleared the cache, etc, etc, but tonight I got in straight away... around 10pm est.

Have had problems in the past around 6pm EST, but usually could get in later (8pm+), but for the last week, nothing until tonight...
