Might be something really obvious, if so I'm sure Mantel will enjoy pointing it out.... Cool

I sometimes have issues when loading the webpage at home; in IE8 it gives "can't find" error; sometimes a forced refresh (F5) works, but if it doesn't I then have to use Chrome or Mozilla - and the same problem sometimes then happens there ("oops, link seems to be broken" or something similar). Again, a forced refresh can load the page but not always. When connecting at work I never have issues...

Any ideas? I'm thinking it can only be at my ISP, given that it is intermittent. Needless to say I am connected to the internet at the time!

Thanks
Ivan

You are not alone ivan. Other ppl also have this problem. My advice is to copy every message you type into your clipboard before hitting submit.

I think you are using a different provider with your iPhone? I use a free DNS at the time and the problems is gone for me...
I have added this IP 213.73.91.35 in my Router as default DNS. Use at your own risk.

-like Mantel said, use/try alternative DNS
or
-call website by IP, i.e. type in browser's address bar:
http://62.99.143.190/
(mb then make shortcut/fav out of it in case its working like a charm)
or
-add entry to your hosts table: 62.99.143.190 www.nakedsquid.com

The latter two should be fine unless an address change is due - but I guess that'd be announced anyway (iirc happened before) since FH and Arma use diff ports on same address and the respective client connection strings for joining servers would be f*cked ->big time mourning w/o announcement.
