I haven't been able to login to iStock for over 24 hours. Consequently, the iStock stats in the picNiche toolbar are not working either. I have tried many times to login. This has never happened before. Is anybody else experiencing the same problem?

Every time I try to login, the white login box appears, and the following message displays:

The connection has timed out

The server at secure.istockphoto.com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

No, no problem here, either FireFox or IE. I've been logged in all morning.

I was able to log in, but it seems kind of slow.

Logged in without problems.

This is my guess because it happened to me before both at IS and DT.

Did it happen after the daylight saving time become effective? if so, it is possible that your computer time was not correctly set. Hope it helps.

try clearing your cache? And/or if you are using windows be sure you have all the latest security updates installed?

After they introduced their new, simpler, faster login process, login got slower.

Sometimes I've had the login screen (with the image of the guy painting a wall) hang, but if I kill the whole window and then go back to IS I find I'm logged in. I don't think it works well with Opera, in case that's what you're using.

Thank you all for your comments, suggestions and help.

I took notice of your suggestions.......clearing my cache didn't help. However, I installed all of the available updates for Windows, then turned my modem off, and restarted everything, now it's working fine!

Cheers
