thank you everyone for trying to explain and helping me with this issue, ithought i was the onlyone having this problem, but it seems we are all on same boat..lol
I have had the same problem in the past - I think the servers are drowning right now. I'm also experiencing really, really slow page load and posting times too.
I have also created login problem like you sometime but after sometimes I connect directly to this forum.
FIX TO THE PM PROBLEM: Delete the PM, but save a copy of it onto your hard drive. Unless you have a lot of PM's eg moderators, that shouldn't be a problem!
