I have had issues trying to get on in the past, and have even seen some threads here when others have had issues, but it's usually only a few hours. I swear this time I haven't been able to get on for almost a week!

It gets stuck in the loading thing every single time.
It's annoying as hell. Stopped looking though it a while ago.

The only caveat is, I was clicking on links in providers' ads here, if that makes a difference.

Seems like it started around the time the pop-ads were introduced

But it hasn't worked for me for many days in a row now.

I have a love/hate relationship with them.
They are great for business but bad at it.  
Ugh
