Something wrong with the site?

Today, every once in a while when I try to load the Homeschool Spot instead of the boards I get a screen of red/green gradient squares?

Anyone else having this problem?

I've been noticing this past week that it takes FOREVER for a page to load....
Even tho this is the only site I experience that, I assumed it was my computer.

No, no gradient squares. A little slower loading occasionally, but not all that much.

About 5pm I tried to come back and got an error message. About 545 I still couldn't get on, but it was on just now no problems.

Okay, now, if I hit "backspace" it closes the thread completely. ????

I think its all over the internet personally peoples. I am hearing this from many friends and family that are blaming their computers first but the internet is so linked up now days that you look at a site and its ads show up on another. I do not just mean fb either even this site shows ads for things i have recently looked at. Also I believe Att has changed hands again according to the trucks in my neighborhood so if they are any of your providers that could be some of it.
