Difficulty in connecting to Answer Bank ?

[modeller]

Every day it's getting more difficult to connect and then stay connected.
Just changing to a different topic or answering a question results in the connection being lost.
I have no problems with any other sites . Any ideas ?

I've had no problems on Firefox (not much help, I know; but could you try another browser?)

[AB Editor]

I am not quite sure how to diagnose this problem. I'll see if there is anything the techies could ask you to work out if the problem is your end or ours.

The best information to start with however is always: browser and OS. Could you let us know what you're running please?

I've not experienced the problem or been able to recreate it so far.

How up-to-date is your browser?

My old version of firefox got very unhappy with AB (think it was all the adverts loading and re-loading).

My current versions of firefox (15.0), chrome (21.0.1180.77) and IE (9.0.4) all seem pretty stable though (with or without adblock)

I'm having problems too, I'm using Chrome.

modeller....I am not a Techie, but I am conscious of the fact that it is important to indicate what Operating System you are using ( Windows Vista, Windows7 or whatever ) along with the Browser ( Google, Firefox, Internet Explorer etc) in order that the Ed and Techies can endeavour to give a satisfactory answer to your problem.

I am operating on Windows Vista with Firefox14.0.1 as my default Browser and am Not having any problems. I do have IE and Chrome as 'back-ups' Browsers, but, like the Ed, can-not recreate the problem.

I use IE9 and have no problems (touch wood).

I have had the same problem but I don't think it has anything to do with AB or indeed any other site, more likely the ISP. Once again, when I logged on tonight, I was told that pages couldn't be found because I was not connected to the Internet, even though the task bar and the router told me otherwise. I use an O2 PAYG dongle, which was brilliant for a couple of years but has been very dodgy lately. Even as I type I notice the little light flickering to tell me that I am disconnected, yet by the end of this sentence I am back on again.

mike i used one of those earlier this year, used up the initial credit on it just before we moved house in april, paid £14.99 in asdas as it was on offer from £19.99, just sold it on ebay for £21.96 with no data on it at all! it was ok but slow, it's off to belfast as we speak, might be better signal there!

I have had some trouble lately - don't know if it's my rubbish Internet connection or my iPad.

sunny-dave....I am a 'Firefox Fanatic' and question the fact that you are operating on FF15 which isn't being released until the end of this month. Are you by any chance testing it as FF Beta15; as I am on my Laptop, but using FF14 on my main desktop computer.?

Any news Modeller?

I suppose it's a bit unfair to expect someone with connection problems to make a connection and answer our questions :)

I am on safari and no problems here.

Be careful to avoid drop-bears Traci, oh and the Lions.
