Im in standstill with this site. *****.

board is borderline unusable for me atm - and it's the only site i'm having problems with too.

the headerbar loads, and then the page takes around three minutes to display the posts/topics.

For me it loads the menu and the SI community forums header and logo then takes ages to load the rest, assuming infopop still handles the actual forum database/processing I would think the problem is perhaps on their end rather than with SI's servers.

OTF seems to be taking an age to load for me, although the other SI forums are fine.

Computer doesn't recognise the file type...not going to try because I don't want to mess whole computer up. Thanks anyway. </BLOCKQUOTE>

&lt;drive&gt; = the drive your windows installed on. typically c

&lt;windows directory&gt; = the directory windows is installed in. typically WINDOWS

So the file is most likely in

cWINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

J4m1e. Edit it in notepad. It's perfectly fine to do and will not mess up your computer.

Agreed.

I keep checking my connection thinking I have lost it but all the other sites I use are fine.

Thanks Jongi, that seems to have fixed it for me.
