Anybody else have certain forums go down for a few minutes?
 

This one is one of them. Along with AVSforum and one or two other ones. They all seem to stop working for me for some reason (can't connect). And it happens at different times, which is the strange part. Also, Yahoo! and CNN always work, so it shouldn't be a internet issue.

Do you have any idea on what might be going on?

What browser and operating system?

I've been giving this some serious thought. In Firefox, every once in a while, many sites will go down seeming at once while others still work. I would try these sites in IE and Opera and they would work...

I determined that something in FF would not update a webpage that used PHP after network timeouts. Why this would have to many PHP sites at once, I still cant guess. My solution was just to close all instances of my browser and run CCleaner.
