   Hi Michelle, I have not encountered this particular issue, so I am unable to help you on this couint.

   For several weeks though, I've been having problems posting my reviews on the GOTD Giveaway site. That's why I am now posting my reviews on this discussion forum, for GOTD members' benefit.

   I know this answer is not very helpful, but I thought mentioning my issue would give you some consolation.

   Best,
   Happy

   Morning Michelle,
   By the looks of it, at this moment in time your computer was trying to (re)connect to your wireless router...

   Oh.. :)
   Since you didn't get any page loading errors, it could be your ISP doing some maintenance then,cutting your connection for a fraction of a moment.
   They always pick that wrong time.

   Also your internet cache may have a corrupted page. I'd clean out your internet cache and try again. Although the cookies that are stored within the cache allow page loading faster, as it fills up it can slow the browser down in other ways. After a while it can take up quite a lot of your hard disc space. If you have hundreds of Gigabytes it shouldn't be a propblem; though there are other reasons for clearing out the cache, especially if other peiople use your computer (for example if you're a student and let other students use it; they can see what you've been doing and even copy important data from the pages stored in the cache).

   Clearing cache in Internet Explorer

   • Select Tools -> Internet Options.
   • Open 'General' tab.
   • In 'Browsing history' area click 'Delete' button.
   • In 'Delete browsing history' window click 'Delete files'. This will delete all the files that are currently stored in your cache.
   • Click 'Yes', and then click 'Close'.

   or you can right click on the internet explorer icon and select internet properties, from there a window pops up which enables you to empty the cache as well as several other operations.

   To stop this happening again you can configure windows to automatically delete the files within the cache (except for cookies):

   • Open 'Tools' menu.
   • Select 'Internet Options'.
   • Open 'Advanced' tab.
   • In 'Settings' box, scroll down to the section 'Security' and select 'Empty Temporary Internet Files folder' when browser is closed option.
   • Click OK to finish.

   Finally, if you use Firefox:

   • Select 'Tools'
   • Select 'Options'.
   • Select 'Privacy'.
   • In Private area click 'Clear Now'.
   • In 'Clear Private Data' window put the check mark for 'Cache' and click 'Clear Private Data Now'.
   • Click OK.

   WR.. In Firefox "Privacy", there is no "private area" to click clear now, or "Clear Private Data" window to put a check mark?? Guess I can view in IE and follow those instructions.
   ----------
   Edit.. did it in IE, Firefox has an add-on allowing to view in other browser
