	I have just got back on. If there is a technical problem I do think it unfair to have a go at GR. It's not their fault. If your phone or internet provider have a fault you know it will take while to repair so why should a tech fault on GR be any different.

	It'll be a long list Ann, I use Opera and my settings suit my browser. I'm sure they work on the principle that all members use IE and if they test that and it passes they tick the box!

	I agree Sue, and if they have interfered with something they should tell people what they need to do to change things to get back in.

	I didn't clear cookies, came in through My favourites as usual, on the UK site and got in the same time as GR posted that it was ok . So it seems that is not the problem as such?

	I had to delete the version in my favourites and come in by googling for the site. I saved it again to favourites and it has been fine since then
