    Last ~3 hours I spent trying to access forums from either Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I tried many different things and it looked like I was able to see the forums until I tried to log in. As soon, as I attempted to log in, I started to get timeouts.

    I experienced the similar behavior yesterday, although briefly (for about an hour).

    I cleared browser history in IE (everything), performed similar actions in GC - nothing helped.

    I am finally able to log in using FireFox, which is the browser I rarely use.

    Please help, it is very time consuming to try to log in to get these timeouts.

    Thanks in advance.

    My problem also is that I am absolutely helpless in this situation. I don't know who/what e-mail address I need to contact to get assistance if the situation repeats itself.

    Posting here is your best bet. I checked with ops they haven't seen anything unusual on their side that speaks to any obvious widespread issues. Is this still happening?

    Not right now, luckily, but since it happened two days in a row I am a bit cautious it may repeat again. On Monday it lasted about 1h., today ~3 hours. I was trying to access threads and instead was getting timeout errors. 

    So, how am I supposed to post here if I am unable to access the forums? This will be a typical CATCH 22 situation - getting error while trying to report an error :)

    No, I don't have it. I have some other people emails who helped me before. I emailed them yesterday, but didn't get any answer.

    I appreciate if you can e-mail me, so I will be able to contact you directly in these cases.
