Problem loading forum at home...

Beginning last week, I cannot get the forum or 986.com to load at home I have earthlink service via my cable provider Brighthouse.

Keep getting timed out trying to connect type page load errors.

I can get it just fine here at the office, but I try to keep my surfing here at a min

I've cleared all the cookies I could find I thought wee related... thoughts?

This site is terribly sluggish and loads slowly. Try both web addresses to see if it makes any difference:

http://www.986forum.com
http://986forum.com

They both load the same pages, but one may work faster for you or keep you from receiving timeouts.

The owners know about the pokey pokey page loading problems, but have not been able to fix them as of late. I think it requires having the site moved to a much faster server.

Yeah, tried both urls (used the bookmarks I usually use & even tried manually typing them in), tried deleting cookies, tried multiple browsers... still cannot get the forum to load

Everything else I frequent is fine and loads as normal, weird eh?

anyone else have any thoughts? I hate not having access to this forum on the weekends!

I guess my next step would be to contact my provider
