   OK - that computer guy in me requires me to also test in FireFox. So I can access the download site by removing the WWW. unfortunately I have no need to download and install this software.

   This message is written and submitted in Firefox - only the latest and greatest.

   --Editing seems to work. This is an interesting problem because I am having no with the WWW. problem here in the Forums using Firefox.

   WOW - It is me again ;) What my testing has found.

   GAOTD FORUMS is powered by "bbPress" and is showing no problems.

   GAOTD SOFTWARE pages are powered by "WordPress" which seems to be the source of the problem.

   It looks like a problem in the DNS lookup. If one takes out http://www.giveawayoftheday.com and inserts the IP 66.29.17.89, stuff works. Of course, since there is no way to do that when submitting a comment there is no way to enter comments. You can get to the comments section, but the post depends on the DNS lookup.

   For clarification, I get TO the comments page, and I can edit a comment, but since POSTing the comment depends on DNS lookup, submitting the comment only leads to the cannot find the page error.

   Sorry, it is early morning here. One more clarification, the comments are not submitted by POST. The Thumbs up/down are. POST does not use DNS.

   Comments are sent using form SUBMIT. SUBMIT uses DNS info.

   Alright everyone :)

   How I fixed the blank screen issue

   This is how I did it: Cleared my cache and cookies. Did both, and voila! It worked! I'm assuming all that is needed is the cookies - Likely a cookie error. As for posting comments, I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. It could be linked to this cookie issue; All I know is that it does now fix when clearing out your cache or cookies.

   Anyways, for those who are interested, today's review is up too (Yesterdays was as well, just can't post)

   Never found this site not to have problems with firefox.

   Firefox v2.0.0.4 is what I checked it with when problems were mentioned.

   I wonder which version(s) problem(s) caused error(s).

   Lee:

   What a statement. You apparently didn't read the entire post because if you had, you'd realize that Firefox is not the issue because others state issues with either Fx or IE. And if Fx was the issue, don't you think it would be a global issue for ALL Fx users!? Granted nothings perfect in this life, but lets not start another browser war over something that has nothing to do with browsers. I'm sure the issue will be fixed and all browsers once again will access the site just fine. The last time the site went down it had to do with wordpress,... and I'd be willing to bet again that's were the problem is. More importantly as well, it's probably isolated to a server and/or regional network as only some are effected while others are not. I use Firefox religiously (including for MS updates) and have never had an issue accessing a website that was directly related to Firefox since I started using it at v0.7.3. If the problem isn't fixed as of this writing this morning EDT/US, no doubt it will be, and I'd be real surprised to hear it had anything to do with browsers at all.

   All went well this morning. Cleared the cache last night before shutting down but that didn't help.
