Occassionally I get a screen like IC2 gets and I usually use IE7 or Opera. When I get it I usually assume the server is down and try later. I sign in and never sign out so my logon stays ready for anytime I call the site up. I do it on all of my sites. Only time I have a problem is when I erase the temp files or the history files or empty my caches. Then the log on's go bye bye.
