Well my computer has problems right now anyway, most importantly my primary HDD has a terminal illness and it's just about hanging on. As I haven't gotten around to sorting it out yet I have been on a severely cut down version of everything for a while, i.e Internet Explorer is the only browser that will run Elvenar without crashing the PC. IE is OK so long as I keep the graphics quality to low and I don't try anything like multi-starting workshops.
So yeah, quite possibly there's a link, but this is the first time I've not been able to login and just get stuck halfway through the loading screen. Other websites are all fine.
Anyway I've done what I needed to do now via my work laptop. This drive could be nearing the end.
