I had a heck of a time with the site today and wonder if anyone else did or if it was an effect of the local weather. Still every other site worked normally. Most of today it took forever to move from one thread to another in the forums and I didn't even bother to try for the addresses for books I need to send. It's not so slow now, so I can do the labels,

I'd not been able to get on until 2pm and after no success thru noon today, I checked with Is this site down and sure enough, it said it was down for everyone and had been for hours. ?? I'd not checked their facebook page since I'm no longer on FB. 

I'm back now and it seems to be working normally at this moment. maybe another glitch of 'off line' with the safety cert issues that's happened before. 

I'm glad it's up and running again. The glitches are concerning the more often they happen.

Glad to see I'm not the only one, and even more glad it's working again.

Tried to get on between 9-10am this morn, but every click was taking up to 2 mins to load. When I did get signed on, it would return me to the log-in periodically.  So I just gave up and left for the day.

Glad it's back up.

Yes, the site was down for me yesterday (Friday) for several hours and I'd periodically check to see if it was down for everyone and it was. It had been saying that the site 'wasn't secure' for a couple of days so wondered if they'd not updated their security thing again.
