I don't know if it's because I use my DH company laptop and maybe there are very tight security settings but it seems like as I'm trying to navigate around The Quilting Board, the browser struggles and usually closes my session. The only thing I can think that might be affecting the session is the loop of ads? Fortunately, I can use another laptop to keep in touch with you all but I just found it funny that his laptop thinks that a bunch of us quilters are a secuirty risk lol.

I usually have this problem and I thought that it was because there is so many onboard at the same time that it either slows u down or closes up?

Have been having trouble getting on the chat room. Have tried when fewer people are on but nothing changes.

Even wierder is that in my regular email, a lot of my pics aren't showiing up...very creepy. I also haven't been able to "link" to any links posted in emails. I get a notice that "this site is not available" no matter what site I'm going to. Maybe there's been a cross up somewhere in general.

Pics have been showing up once I log on to QB but I can't click on an email link to get it to take me here. I have to go directly thru IE7.

if it happens elsewhere - not just at the board's site - then the problem is somewhere on your computer.

i switched to Mozilla FireFox for cruising the board. i don't know why it works better, but it does.
