Appreciate any info.

 Is this the address you're using? http://forums.polyloop.net/

Yes Mark.

works for me, could be your ISP has a bad address in for the URL in the DNS.

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    forums.polyloop.net
Address:  91.121.153.174

is what I get from nslookup forums.polyloop.net

That or your tool bar is intercepting something perhaps, or you have a broken route to their host.  It is pingable as well.

That was all double dutch to me---sorry!

It MAY be that Thomas has not made his site compatable with IE8--a thing HE has to fix as was the same when IE7 came out.

You may like to ask him to do the necessary update of his site if thats the case please..

 I don't know. I could be anti-aussie day in France. ;-)

Even after all the thousands of lives we lost trying to save them in two world wars?

We should be a favoured nation!

I think it's more probable that it's because IE8 is not yet written in French!
(English as the universal language? ---well some don't accept that philosphy!)

 Computers are basically evil, regardless of platform. IE8 is their leader. :D

You know, I don't know about France. When there's not enough jobs to go around, they strike to guarantee work. Kind of makes you go, "Hmmmmmmmmm..."

That's something that the French taught us to do here here!

And it's not only computer stuff thats evil!

Woe is me and us!

I'm living in Paris.
No problem in France and no problem for Polyloop :)
I can access with IE, Firefox or Safari.
Just try http://forums.polyloop.net/ while saying "Lafayette nous voila"...
That should work.

It wasn't me going crazy/round the bend--as usual!

Please don't go crazy over polyloop.  Not worth the effort.

Some of us learn from the great examples/information from the likes of Mike James and Jonah

Brian.

The keyword being "some".  But I don't recall any stellar graduates from polyloop.

Is that true?
(Ahhhh-- your joking!)
I might say the same for some from 3dExtract--or is that not joking!
(Myself as an example perhaps?)

Back in the 1940s we were taught to analyse problems from all directions (oh my gosh--think in 3d)--- rather than 2D.
If basic principles about finance had been analysed in 3D in, some other, countries would the current  worlds problems exist?

Perspective/Semantics---all is not cut and dried.
(And I should NOT have wasted your time---sorry Mark)
