There is something else FF-related, though I don't think it's causing the errors reported here. The FF error console is logging lots of CSS errors, particularly in regard to alignment properties. For example:

Warning: Unknown property 'align'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/new...eply&p=2584380
Line: 304

This error is being logged in many different modules. The CSS associated with the above error is:

/* ***** define margin and font-size for elements inside panels ***** */
.fieldset { margin-bottom: 6px; }
.fieldset, .fieldset td, .fieldset p, .fieldset li { font-size: 11px; }
.headertable {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
\t align: center;
\t border-bottom: 6px solid #CC0000;
\t border-top: 0px solid #993300;
\t padding: 0px;
\t margin: 0px;
\t
\t }

I don't think there's currently any CSS "align" property for an object. There are horizontal and vertical alignment properties but they're for text only. There's an HTML align property for HTML elements, but I don't think the above usage is correct under current standards, and so FF's page rendering engine is rejecting it. vBulletin has been around for a while; I'm guessing this might be some code that needs updating to current usage.

It only happens at this site for me. It's only been recently since the last upgrade. After that I started to get numerous errors trying to access the arcade, and then it started here too.

And as I showed above, it's not just Firefox. It's also IE 7.0.

It doesn't really bother me though. I frequent a few graphic art sites, so when I can't get in here, I just spend my time on one of those sites and then try later in the day here.

Ok, I pinged the site ....the first time right after I couldn't connect.....got the message that the ping request couldn't find host www.thecatsite.com , please check name and try again.

Pinged it again when I was back on TCS, got this:

Those seem to me to be some really big hop times. Maybe indeed FF is timing out.
