It's been doing this for several weeks now and getting truly frustrating... an explanation of some kind would make me feel a little better...

I have problems connecting almost every morning. Are they performing maintenance?

Any info would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry you are having problems, but I rarely have any problem getting onto the site. I'll admit that I usually don't crank up my computer until sometime between 10 and 11 in the morning, so I cannot speak to trying to get in earlier in the morning. I'm also usually on the site during the evening hours, when I suppose the traffic is the heaviest, but I never seem to have any problems then either. Seems that the only time I have a problem is when Abel has actually taken it down for maintenance or to fix something.

Since I only use my home computer, I have TPF set to automatically load, using "Remember Me." When I crank up my computer, TPF is there waiting for me, and I always go there first. I'm on Comcast and using Firefox.

It's been slow to respond at times this evening.

Maybe so, though I haven't noticed its being slow except when there are a bunch of photos to load, but I've not had any trouble actually getting to the site, like the others were saying. I'm not doubting anyone; I'm just saying I have had no trouble. Guess I've been lucky.

It's frequently unreachable early in the morning (03:30 to 05:00).
