The Word Cloud

Just drawing this to the Cloud's attention in case it's not aware or it's affecting other members. I haven't been able to log on to the Cloud all day using Internet Explorer, each time it tries to load for a few minutes and then comes up with a '504 Gateway Timeout' message.

I presumed the site was down until Weens told me she's logged on using Firefox, which I installd and am able to access through, but it still won't load using Explorer.

There may be Cloudlings out there wondering what's going on

And when firefox times out, try google chrome. What keeps happening to me is, the site loads up but in a weirdly mutilated way, all stretched out down one side of the screen. Fustrating, isn't i- . . .

Hi Inky,
I've been having trouble, off and on, all day. It would suddenly refuse to download a new page when I clicked on some link or other (same error message as you). I had to wait for half-an-hour or an hour and then it would work again for a while. I was using IE8, but when it wasn't working I couldn't get in with Firefox either. It's been OK for the past hour or more.

Glad it's been giving other people trouble too (sorry, I mean that it's not just my comp).

It better be working tomorrow, I always need cheering up after the football

Just an update - has now loaded as normal using IE:-)

I've had problems loading this site from time to time using Firefox on Windows, Firefox on Linux and IE. I don't think it is a browser problem, I think it is a bandwidth problem. Is this site experiencing more traffic than it can handle at certain times?
