Can't get into main site

in Site feedback
When I try to access moneysavingexpert.com (via the weekly email links or typing in the url), the connection keeps timing out. No maintenance message, just a standard browser screen saying the server is too slow to respond. I've experienced problems for a couple of weeks now. No problems with the forums though (different server maybe?)

I run Mac OSX using Safari and Firefox. I have tried clearing all temporary internet files, to no avail.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Firefox/Konqueror/galeon/Opera etc in linux and Firefox/Safari/Opera/Avant etc on Windows work OK for me.:confused:

    Running a Mac (leopard OS) with Safari and can access the main site with no problems...

    Try switching your router off then back on after a minute... then try accessing site again... worth a try... ;)

    :D
