I'm on aol also and had the same problem all day...think it must aol because I'm having no problems with my other server.

Same here, NOT AOL. Must be the traffic to this site increasing. I can go elsewhere, No problem

There was a post a couple days ago that some jerks were dumping gigazoodles of data onto the net trying to slow it down, so I'm wondering if they are still doing this. Just think what will happen if some hackers manage to continuously do this and get away with it. You can kiss those Nasdaq stocks goodbye, and our current bubble economy as well.

I keep getting "connection to the server was reset," and other error messages. I'm not on AOL, either. Something is definitely screwed up.

Mr. Greenspun is probably playing with the software again. Or he could be having some kind of tech problem. <:)=

Had lots of problems earlier with my ISDN account (non-AOL) but they seem to have cleared up now. Must be something web-wide since it affected every site I went to.
