Temporary technical difficulties

Hi all,

We're aware Answerbag is sporadically available today, sometimes disconnecting and not allowing new questions to be categorized appropriately.

Please bear with us, and if you notice any other odd behavior (apart from the usual oddness ;)) please post them here.

Thanks,
Rich

Before seeing your new Blog, I had just sent a "Contact Us" regarding the problems I encountered, i.e., I am unable to pull up my Profile Page or my Alerts. When the attempt is made, I'm brought back to the Home Page.

Good luck in the repair. Maybe it's the "terrorists"... :-}

Sorry to report no new information about the problem. However, you can categorize questions by entering a term in the category search box (e.g. snow) on the Ask a Question page, and access all categories containing that term.
