Default BEFORE YOU ASK IF A SITE IS DOWN or your browser isn't working

Go to Down for everyone or just me? before complaining that a website isn't working. If it says down for everyone wait a day or two. If its just you, try one of the following options:

Clear your cache/cookies:
IN IE go to tools>internet options and click 'Delete...'

In firefox 3.5 or higher go to tools>clear private data

In firefox 3.4 or lower go to tools>options>privacy

if you have any other browser odds are you're tech-smart enough to do it yourself

Reset your modem:

Unplug, wait 30, replug

Call your ISP if the problem persists.

Hope this helped.

I just had to do this
TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL

I have cleaned the thread. Please stay within the rules. No bypassing them, no mention of activities that are illegal in some countries and no links that can easily be offensive to people. Especially those that have lost that particular family member. This is a family friendly site.
