Stating about Wednesday went I attempt to get on SMF  it just says "connecting".  then after some time I get the  Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Right now I'm using Firefox and it works normal.

Every other site and forum I visit works normally and loads fast

Someone suggested I clear my cache and cookies which I did with no difference.

Any other suggestions/ idea's

Thanks, Dan

None of the problems that have been affecting this site during the upgrades seem to be a problem with Chrome. It's free & fast. Give it a try.

I think I'm Ver.7. but for the life of me I can't remember how to find that info. also XP if it makes a differance.

Weird thing is I just clicked on SMF in my favorites page (like I always do) and it popped right up. Go figure.

I'm using IE 9 and not having any problems. You can find the version info under Help and then About.
