an update:
i was having huge problems accessing the site. y'day morning i reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled the OS. now its working like there never was a problem.
whilst others may find this approach a bit drastic i found this always fixes any problems i'm having with my pc. that being said i have this process down to about 2.5hours from start to finish. just searching and running scans normally costs minimal 2hours so for me its a effiecient solution.
like in trading, moving out of your comfort zone may/can produce an improvement in results.
cheers, mong.
