Am I the only one who thought anandtech was down for four days?

Since last friday, I get the Anandtech is offline for system maintenance page. I figured it had something to do with the forum upgrades and checked again a few hours later. . same msg. Fast forward to today and the daily checks yielded the same page and I finally decided to google it where i was able to get in to the forums from a link on google. Then I saw the clear your cookies announcement and realized it was firefox and not anandtech that was preventing me from getting my daily atot fix. anyways. How long did it take you guys to figure it out?

Took me till yesterday morning. Didn't see the message about clearing cookies, just did it anyway to see if that'd fix it.

IE still wont work for me, even with trying 3 different machines (two at work and 1 at home) and clearing the cookies IE still wont connect to the forums. but i can get to the main anandtech.com page.

2 days for me - but I had issues even with IE 6 and 7 - but was also using an old link that probably kept breaking it.

My favorite part about this story is when you were locked out, if you clicked the clear your cookies announcement to see what was going it, it errored out. It's like putting a no trespassing sign on the inside wall of a building.
