AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably 95% of the time today when I try to go from page to page, or click on any link I get the following:

I've tried rebooting, everything. I am not having this problem on any other website today, just LBT. Am I doing something wrong?

Mine is working just fine too!

I'm pretty sure it was IE7. I switched to Firefox and everything is perfect now!

Why do I even bother with IE7?????

The site has been intermittent today. I have had the same problems using three different computers; an iMac, a WinXP PC and a PC running Linux.

It hasn't been 95% of the time, but it has happened at random. Whenever it happens, I try a second time and if still NG, I try a different site to make sure my DSL and router are both OK. It has been the LBT site.

I couldn't get onto the site for about 24 hours. I just now have been able to get on, and this is the first time since sometime yesterday. I use Firefox, also, so it isn't just IE. I was actually able to get to the sitemap and see all the posts, but had no way to respond to any of them.

It's amazing how addictive this site is. I stayed up about 2 hours longer than I should have last night, trying to get it to work, and then was basically trying it every half hour or so today since about 11:00 AM.

I do believe we have switched "food" for "LBT". ;o)

Sadly (or not so sadly, I guess), yes. But then again, the internet has always been an addiction of mine. There is definitely something to the idea that a lot of obese people are more likely to have addictive personalities. At least, my addiction is not for something dangerous.
