I haven't had any problems at all last week.

No problems so far as I've seen - however, if you do have problems accessing the site, please do empty your browser cache, as it may be trying to upload a mix of old and new files since the server move.

That may not solve the problem - but certainly it's the first place for trying a fix, as browser caches often cause problems after a change.

See if that helps at all?

i too have problems loading this site (only this site ) and have had to use firefox as my browser for techwatch , i posted for help , but the suggestions werent any help to me ,
time out error

I get a strange error on this site (and only this site) where it just hangs once I click a link. Goes to a blank page (as if it's loading) then nada, just stays blank. The only way to get back on the site is to close the tab, open a new one and reload techwatch. Seems to happen quite randomly, sometimes it's the first or second link I click, sometimes I can browse 100 threads without a problem (well, 20 or so).

Only on Opera browser too.
