I have problems connecting as follows:-

I am using Windows 7 - 64bit.
If I use 64bit Internet explorer it seems to rarely connect at all, despite many refreshes.
If I use 32bit Internet explorer it seems to connect after a couple of refreshes.

I hope this helps?

(Leigh, is it possible that your "LOLs" have overtones of...whining...? Nah, can't be.)

My own experiences: I use two different ISPs. On both, I have never had trouble with either until today, at which one failed utterly, though most other pages loaded perfectly. I also occasionally use the mobile phone. Usually it won't get to the server, but today, it worked fine, for some odd reason--at least for reading. But I couldn't log on. But we make things work eventually..

I have no problem logging on but I don't get any email notifications

Yes, that is a semi-big problem that has existed for several months. Andrew is aware of it. I'm guess it is a problem with the forum software or possibly a black-list issue with the domain name.

I actually totally locked myself out of the forum about 3 weeks ago when I went changed my password. When you change your password, the system sends you an e-mail that you have to respond to in order to be approved to get into the system. Since I never got the e-mail (due to the mailer problem), I couldn't get approved. I had to send an e-mail to Andrew and he went in and manually approved me. That episode is what prompted me to put out an e-mail where you can contact me in the event you are totally locked out of the system.

Unfortunately, near as I can tell, I don't actually have full admin privilages yet. Which is probably good since if I messed something up from way across the pond, it could be more difficult to fix.

I am using Windows 7 - 64bit.

That's something I haven't even considered. I also use 64-bit IE, but I have 32-bit IE, Chrome, and Mozilla all loaded, so maybe I'll do some testing. It shouldn't make a difference since the browser is being run locally and data going back and forth to the ISP should all be the same. But it's a good thought. Normally, it takes me 3 or 4 refreshes to connect.

What I REALLY need to do is download the vBulletin manual and read it. Geeee, novel idea, eh?
