May or may not help, claysand, but I just want to remind everyone to clear their internet cache regularly. It can get junked up and slow down or cause problems as you web browse.
In Internet Explorer 7, go to Tools/Delete Browsing History, then click the button to Delete Temporary Internet Files.
In FireFox, go to Tools/Options/Privacy and press the Settings button under Private Data. Make sure Cache is checked -- the others are optional. (Remember, if you delete your cookies, password and authentication, you'll have to re-log in to all your forums.) The click Clear Now and confirm the the clear.
