I still am getting some broken images, so it's not all good yet here :)

Ah, okay. :)

hosts
=> DNS Severs can do whatever they want ;)

Not much use if you go via proxy servers ;)

Right, that's a problem then ... do many ppl use Proxies?

Well they do in the UK, don't know about other countries.

Depends on the site, some places I go to require the use of a proxy :)

So that's what wa going on. I thought it was my computer that was causing me not to be able to get onto vbulletin.com. Now I know. :)

it seem it got fixed just need other countries to refresh their resolvers.

i can't reach it from Kuwait, but able via my servers in the US via proxy working just fine.

good luck :)

I don't use any proxies, unless my IP is banned for some reason :p
