    I'd been meaning to ask.

    Last 3 or 4 days I have been getting annoying intermittencies in mse access via my i-pad. Sometimes get 'Safari cannot find' etc. I don't seem to be getting this on other sites. When I do get through the site is often a halfway thing. E.g. Smilies may not be visible, page layout is a primitive version, or there is a lot of text version of the site before I get to the forum I'm looking for (which is mostly Discussion Time :o) and other abnormalities. I am not getting this on my computer access, well maybe a bit of disturbance, sometimes site briefly not reachable. Perhaps there is a different strength of device connection? (both connected wirelessly to adsl and in same room).
    Sorry my posts so long - not time write shorter ones.

    If it's still an issue for any of you, have you spotted this thread which MSE Ian has contributed to?

    I know its been a while, but i found the source. AVG 2013 is having issues and is causing a few issues. They are releasing a service pack but have advised to reinstalling 2012 until then. I reinstalled 2012 and its working perfectly.
