Hi Spades,

It has been an ongoing issue since the beginning of the year.  Happened to me then, and then again a couple of weeks ago.   There are many threads about this on various boards, quite a few locked topics on The How To Use Rootschat Board.

I even posted a thread in Technical for help.

Cheers

Hi KHP,

Very interesting, thanks.

Ok found it:

This is what worked for me when I couldn't get on to Firefox, which I could through Chrome.
