    My favorite browser, by far, is Firefox and I feel very honored to have links and logos to help spread the word about it on my sites. This morning I was planning to place one of their graphics and a link on some pages but I just get a blank page!

    To be honest, I'm having mixed emotions. On the one hand, I feel let down. My development is being hindered and, as they say, time is money. (Much better to waste it posting here, eh? ;))

    On the other hand, it's almost encouraging to know that even brilliant folks like those at Mozilla sometimes make errors. I left a minor syntax error on a very major page one afternoon and didn't realize it until the next morning. Clicking on the link produced a truly blank page (as opposed to a "this page left intentionally blank" page). I'm still kicking myself about that boner.

    I came here to post whether there is a denial of service attack going on and saw your post.

    I am unable to connect to another site as well: www.trafficswarm.com
    Any others out there?

    [chuckle] I never thought about a DOS being the reason. Oi! I'm much to trusting and honest, I guess.

    spreadfirefox.com returns an empty page (as in <html><body></body></html>) and it returns it fast. Under a DOS attack, the response wouldn't be returned at all or would be damaged and would take a considerable amount of time.

    I thought it was just me......rebooted and still the same.....then I got really worried about all the links that I have saved. I guess they will resolve the issue.

    Funny thing is I had a window open to my Forum and it shows I am still logged on :confused: .
