Hi All,
I was at the hospital yesterday (Mom was having some kidney stones removed), and they have a computer in each of the waiting rooms. When I finished some work I was doing, and the computer was free, I brought up the EA website, thinking I would check it over. The computer was running real slow (I assume it was because of the volume of use they were getting--I'm sure these were on a different network than the one the medical staff was using), so I had a hard time getting it to come up. In fact, the 1st time I tried, I entered "Everything Aquatic" into the search bar, and when I clicked on search, the "Aquatic" part of the search disappeared and the only thing that came up was "Everything". After trying again, and a fairly long wait, the site did come up, but when I tried to sign in that page wouldn't load (I don't know if it was somehow blocked on purpose or not), so I just viewed the site as a visitor. Not everything it showed had been "updated"; a couple of the things I had posted the day before weren't showing up on the home page, so I don't know if it was a network thing, or if Proboards was having an issue. Anyway, when I was thru, instead of taking the computer back to the search engine, I just left it on the EA home page...I thought maybe the next person to use the computer might be curious enough to check it out (don't know if it worked or not tho). After we left, I got to thinking, I should have done the same thing with all of the computers that were not in use at the time. I hope I helped drum up some business...I tried, anyway.

Very sweet of you. I would guess a network issue.
