I am getting a totally different format for this site.  
Not easy to view or select catagories.

For several hours earlier today, the CarTalk “Community” part of the website would not load.

OK, great to know … I thought it was on my end as my internet provider has been “blinking out” on occasion.

Hi. Sorry for the trouble. I wanted to post and tell you all, but … yeah.

I was having internet connectivity problems last night at home so assumed it was my problem. Got up this morning and replicated it on a different computer. The helpful discourse team got it running again.

Again, many apologies for the interruption.

I couldn’t pull it up at work, I was worried that my boss found out that I hop on here while I work! 😉

It resulted in me taking a longer power-walk than usual this morning, so I guess this proves that some good can come from adversity.

I tried getting on this morning and got a blank screen, save the top banner. All the other Car Talk pages loaded fine. I sent an email to Contact Us on the main page, and didn’t get around to trying it again until a few minutes ago. Works fine now.

Maybe just a coincidence, I went to the bottom of the page, there was an option for “desk top view “, tapped it, all was well.

@jtsanders that’s exactly what happened to me. Not sure how you were accessing it, iOS or an operating system, but thank you for confirming.

@Purebred glad you could get in. I couldn’t see any links at all!
