OK, here's the issue.  My wife is a moderator on another message board.  A few weeks ago, before we left for vacation, she all of a sudden could not access the message board.  I tried everything I could think of to solve the problem (firewall, anti-virus, all kinds of settings, ports, etc) but nothing worked.  She still could not get to the page.  What was actually happening was that the page would begin to load, then a blank screen would appear, and at the bottom left the word "done" showed up.  Now, if she received a private message, with a notification in her email, she could get to private messages and all the controls with no problems using the link in the email.  She could navigate through all that stuff, even access buddy groups and friends accounts, and send a new PM.  At that time she was not the only user having issues, either.  The site upgraded the server and all was well for a few weeks.  Then yesterday the same thing happened, and she cannot get on to the site.  I tried using both Firefox and IE, and neither worked at home.  I can get on here at work, and my sister-in-law can get in.  And we both have the same ISP. 

What the hell is going on?  What other settings on my computer could be blocking access to this one website, and only when trying to get to the main message board?  She could access it in the morning but not yesterday evening.  Nothing has changed since then, that I am aware of.  This is driving me INSANE!!!!

The site's url is http://www.twinstuff.com/

  True, it's not as good as LFM.  But she's a mod and is going through withdrawal right now.  I know I would if I were in the same situation.

Maybe it requires some add-on that you don't have installed, or is disabled.

I noticed that the notification doesn't always show up

Norton Internet Security was the culprit. Last time the issue popped up I turned off Norton and I still couldn't get to the site. They changed servers but I never thought to try turning off Norton, until tonight. Damn thing worked.
