For several days, everytime I try to get onto slowtrav.com, my browser gets hung up, frozen, whatever you call it. No problem with slowtalk though. I did just change my email address, but I updated my profile and as I said, can get onto the message boards just fine. Any advice?

We have not had any reports of problems with reviews and I can link to them. Can you give me an example - what reviews are you trying to read?

If you go to this page of Recent Vacation Rental Reviews do the links work? They work for me.

I am going to move this thread to the How Do I? forum.

Thanks, Pauline. That link seems to have the same problem. I just get a perpetual "loading" message. I've tried various ways to get to reviews for both Italy and France, including the top link to "Vacation Rentals" to the "shortcuts" link on the side bar. Even when I just try to go to the slowtrav homepage. Very strange. I've never had this problem before.

It must be this new computer (a mac) or the browser on it (both Safari and Firefox are giving me the same problem). I just got onto the site easily on the old PC running Explorer. Does this make sense to anyone that is more computer savvy than I (not that that's saying much).
So much for the mac making my life easier; this only confirms one of my rationales for travelling abroad which is to get away from computers, cell phones, etc!

Empty the cache (under the word "Safari"), restart computer, and see if that helps. When mine is slow on Slow Talk, that seems to help a lot.

I can't believe I'm giving computer advice! I have no idea what what I just said MEANS, but I know it works.

Nicole, this happened to me a little while ago.

It seemed to resolve itself, and I have no idea why. Sorry I can't be of more help, but at least you know you're not the only one.

Sounds like a very similar problem; interesting that yours was also Firefox. I have an earlier version, tho it was just installed last week. Guess I'll just hope for it to resolve itself. In the meantime, if anyone else has ideas, I'm here.

Did you read Palma's advice above, about emptying the cache? On a PC with IE, you can delete temporary internet files - that sometimes causes this kind of problem.

I did, and it doesn't seem to have helped. And I'm not sure how to do it on Firefox. (Is it "clear private data?")

Probelem solved -- turns out it was a firewall issue.
Thanks for all of your suggestions!
