    I can get on but takes awhile and that's the only site that loads slow, sometimes the first item in my feed will appear and the rest of the page is blank.

    Well, by the time I go on the computer at 1PM it's early evening where most of you are, so I just got on to our forum and facebook. We are the absolute last place for time here in Hawaii. By the time the New Year's begin we still got at least 4-6 hours here before midnight. You get used to it after a while. If you need to report it to the authorities for an attack is very bad and dangerous, ic3.gov is the place to go for they are the internet FBI. I read about id theft in Reader's Digest 2006 magazine about content scraping which is another alarming thing. Screen scraping is how someone else is on the site with you and can malfunction things...once I was writing an important email and as I was checking everything on my email I noticed that my email address to whom I was sending it to was being deleted...that upset me a lot! I couldn't figure out how and what was going on until I read the article about content scraping. In Google settings there is a place on the settings page to set only one user for computer. There is also locations in your yahoo mail account info to check for security reasons too.In facebook check security page, settings then check the where you're logged in to be sure only you login to your account.

    I'm so glad that everything is alright now! Good work Ken!!

    I have been trying to get on here for a while, but it wasn't able to connect. I can't remember exactly what the message said, but it was something about taking too long to connect. I'm on a bunch of other sites on other tabs, so I doubt it was my computer. Hopefully it was just a glitch, and not an attack on the site.

    I had this today Ken, and wondered if anyone else was having the issue. Glad I saw your OP. I could get on FB, and my gmail, just couldn't get on here. It didn't last long though;) Good read in that OP, Denise

    Hopefully, things have corrected themselves. I was in the ER today because I cut my hand this morning, and I have a dental appointment in a few minutes, so my day will be pretty much gone.

    It's coming and going Ken, I'm not worried, you need to take care of you. I just keep checking back. We have a lot of weather going on that could be causing it in different parts of the country.

    Ruh Roh, sorry to hear that, @Ken Anderson. It seems to be coming and going. I've lost connection a few times, but it seems to come back every time, at least up until now. Maybe it's just some sort of glitch that's being worked on.

    It just happened again a few minutes ago but never lasts long.

    Don't worry about it, @Ken Anderson ....ive got a handle on it. :)

    This happens every once in awhile on here, never lasts long.

    Yikes a cut bad enough to go to ER? Think I'm going to faint for the first time ever.

    Just three stitches but it wouldn't stop bleeding, or I'd have simply used bandaids.
