Commonly cannot connect to vbulletin.com

[Gary King]

When I try connecting to vbulletin.com, I normally have to refresh about 3 times before I am able to. Does this happen to anyone else? Just happened to me lately, about the past 2 weeks or so.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

No problems here, always opening immediate.

Good to go here.

Just to point out on the home page unrivaled should be unrivalled.

[Gary King]

Either way is proper. Unrivaled is used more often.

Why do I get it as a spelling error in MS word?

[ajaspers]

My copy of Word shows that both are correct.

[brisk_99]

My word did not complain about either spelling and if you look at the screen shot on the right it says both are correct. :)

Are you using the UK English language set in MS Word, by chance?

[CMilne]

If you use internet explorer and have EVER used a p2p program, or ever visited a crack / free program site or any site that wasn't a site you would usually go to, there is a VERY high chance this could be due to an unauthorized program on your system.

I experienced such an issue when I used internet explorer, my advice, if you do use internet explorer, DONT, find something else, anything else * I'd reccomend FireFox * as internet explorer commonly lets things through that shouldn't be able to get through.

Give it a shot in firefox or another browser, check for spyware/adware/viruses/trojans/browser hijackers ( most likely ), if it isn't any of that .... then perhaps it's your ISP?

I honestly don't know.

Perhaps, ISP. Of course I use Firefox ;) Been using it since the days of the Phoenix ;)

Start > Run > CMD

type: ipconfig /flushdns
type: ipconfig /registerdns
type: exit

[brisk_99]

I suppose if you are a computer newb you will get spyware by using IE. I tried firefox and hated it because of the way it renders pages. I have been using IE ever since I was old enough to use a PC and have never gotten any of that crap on my PC and now with XP2 it's even better. :)

Oh well to each his own I guess.

I am using the UK spell checker in word and it marks unrivaled as incorrect

Yep. I'll try that; I just recently had to refresh about 10 times for vB.com to work.
