          Worked fine when I tried it.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            Works fine here. The point I was making is that pings nowadays are often dropped for some bizarre security reasons, so lack of ping is not a guaranteeed indicator of a web site being down. If the truth abuses you then you really got a problem....

              AtW, a few of us have tried to access the website without success. I fully understand that lack of ping doesn't necessarily mean the site is down. It is you that is being abusive. I should leave the beer alone if I were you. It's starting to control your life.

                I have just accessed the site without problems, and was able to access yesterday also. I was also paid yesterday, therefore no problems from here.

                What was in the email of 10/07 as I never received this?

                Are you with Giant Powerhouse?

                      Not bizarre at all. Plenty of good security reasons to block ping, from hiding your network from ping sweeps to preventing attacks, ever heard of a SMURF?
