That's weird. Were you getting the same type of error messages as posted above? Do you also use AOL?

If I were you I would run MSconfig and go to the startup tab and uncheck everything that is AOL related.

Then go and download firefox (did you know 90% of computer viruses are targeted at Internet explorer

) It may take a couple of days to get used too but it tis awesome once you figure out the buttons.

I will second this advice. In my experience, VolNation actually loads much faster with firefox.

Most of the threads go straight to this:

Skip over navigation Send Us Feedback Oops! We can't find the webpage you're looking for
Here are some suggestions:

Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of Example Web Page
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's internet connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that your browser is permitted to access the Web.
OR
Try a Search

Freak these are exactly the error messages I was receiving. I do use firefox. My error console said "Error in parsing value for property in 'color' "........ "Unknown property 'word wrap' "..............and "Expected color but found '#00000' " Hope this can help you Freak.

I think overall Firefox runs faster. Also, like was stated less viruses.

Do you use AOL also?

This is very concerning.

Anyone else experiencing any issues like this?

I'd love to have a screenshot of what you guys are seeing.

Which skin are you all using? I'd be interested to see if this could be an issue with a certain skin or it affects all of the different skins.

That day it would let me in to the home page but when I would click on to a particular thread it would disconnect and send me an error message. Sometimes it would not let me through at all.

Sounds like the exact same problem I was having. I clicked on some of the threads and it basically took me to a page saying that website (VolNation) didn't exist.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I'll try downloading FireFox.

vol_freak, it seems to be working better now. I can open some of those threads now that I couldn't open last night. I will post a screenshot the next time it happens.

Thanks, maybe that will help me understand what could be happening.

Are you having issues again today? It's weird because you two are the only ones that seem to be having problems from what I can tell.
