I just logged in a few minutes ago. It all seems normal?
Wonder what they were doing?

Oh dear I'm worried now. This is what I get when I try to access the site.

Annette, are you using a link to open SP?
If so, try typing the SP address into internet explorer instead.

I don't know why you are getting this. I'm not much up on web page creation or management, but thought "inetmgr. IIS Manager" was something to do with your managing your own web sites (which you weren't), rather than someone else's.
I'm sure Currie will know

Thanks Mary

- all is well - I can access through explorer!!!
I was in such a blind panic I didn't even think of trying that. I wonder why I suddenly can't access through aol.
Thanks again.

Ah but you'll still have good old America on Line Ina. The UK isn't run by the same company any more! We have all sorts of problems now and I'll certainly not be renewing my contract in August.
AOL UK was down for about 4 hours on Sunday - I can only think it has something to do with that.
Tracey, did you do as Mary suggested and access through explorer?
Regards,
Annette

It's not happening down here in frosty Kent - through Safari on a Mac. Could be an upgrade?
