Were using the old handles? Probably need to change em. I would check to see if the problem occurs on different browsers(Mozilla, explorer, chrome), - if it only occurs in one of the browsers then it's a problem I wouldn't worry about. You can also check your security level, if it's too high it won't let you view some sites. The board has been hijacked in the past, so it's been flagged and will only let you enter with more lax security.

Robbie,
I only use Mozilla to visit the message board because of that very issue.

Just go to the Internet and download and install Mozilla's Firefox. It is not too difficult (I managed to do it).

In your IE google "Firefox download".
That should get you somewhere where you can download the installer. Of course, with these open sources things they always ask you to choose a mirror site which is about as unusable a step as there is and turns people off of using open sores software. That said, I always just pick a mirror site that is in Canada and away you go.

Omg..totally thought you were gonna relate the rest of it towards what was wrong with his game at Soho. Handles...geddit?? Change them, geddit?? Then you didn't reference anything else and I was like..."oh, he meant handles..not handles." :p

Robbie seriously, if I can do it, you can. Just download Firefox and open that browser for this site.

I started off on one tangent, but then I didn't think anyone would get it. So, I just answered the question. lol.
