Ah, good to see I'm not the one one either, I thought it was my internet connection for a while until I checked to see that other sites were working first time and quickly too.
I hadn't been able to view the forum properly for the last 8 hours, yesterday was intermittant too.
Probably just a host issue, it happens!
I had to spend the last hour+ watching the opening to the Olympic Games, it was good though- I forgot what TV was like
I haven't had much time the past couple of days but each time I came to beta I got weird messages.
So are we rearranging the chairs on deck?
(We're all the in the same boat ie Titanic because we're sinking. Yeah, jokes aren't as funny when you don't have the reference. I'm in a weird mood today. I should log off.)
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Interesting explanation. How do you know? It seemed like me.

Ok, so it wasn't just me then. I ate a lot of holiday goodies today and was beginning to wonder if Beta had been one of them. (Didn't think so, but as the spouzal unit put it the other day, the closest I've been to sanity in the past 30 years was to wave to it from across the room.)

Yeah I have problems every day also. I expect it now so if Beta doesn't work I just do other things and check in later. Usually I can get back in if I come back a few minutes later. Sometimes it takes longer.
But every now and then the system kicks me out and I have to look up my password to log into the board again. I have to do that every few days or so.
I've been having this problem for about 2 weeks? or so now... was just a quick blip... but it's gradually gotten worse, from seconds to minutes, no hours at a time... and it does get annoying to me, happening in the middle of trying post something...

I thought it was just me having problems.
