Are they down for rebuilding ? I can not get in to order some toasters . All I get is a white page with skykids in the corner . ??

It appears something is wrong with the site. IF you GOOGLE POTR, then hit CASHED, the site stalls, but IT WILL COME UP.

I got on yesterday googling pick of the ricks...

First entry was

Click on "Click to Enter Site" ...

I notified Chirs at POTR & he rectified the situation.

There was some kind of error that he took care of.

The site is working properly since the correction was made.

Ed: Whatever happened took place sometime yesterday. I've been in and out of the site all day and at some point, the site went bonkers.

I still get a blank page except for the words spykids in the top left corner

Hit refresh - you're displaying the cached page.

Tony - odd that I haven't visited in months, and just did so a couple times in the last few days with no problems. Could be a cached page issue like Alan suggests, and I just hadn't been there for so long I didn't have the problem page...maybe clear out your temporary internet files and do a spyware clean up?

Nice to see Chris having an influx of 4004's...

I deleted the temp internet files, tried the refresh and still get the same blank page with spykids in the upper left corner

Bad news, dude, your internet license has expired.

Could be hijacked. I hesitate to get involved in tech support here but if I may suggest...it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a couple of what I call "poke n prod" tools to get any problems or nasty BHOs sorted out. I have a small arsenal that I usually start with: Spybot, Adaware, Hijackthis, and a good, old-fashioned beating about the head, neck, and shoulders.

Seriously though, I can probably help if the basics haven't worked. Email me off-forum if you like.

Assuming you're using IE, I would d/l a copy of Foxfire and see if that helps. I would also add a copy of Zone Alarm or Spybot's SD-Resident module to prevent further unauthorized registry changes.

Posted: **Sun Jul 02, 2006 4:44 pm**

The Spybot memory-resident option is not, in my technical opinion, appropriate for most end-users. With due respect to any and all users, most people can't tell what's normal or expected with regard to registry changes and what's not. Spybot reports a LOT of stuff that just ends up confusing the user. Better to first analyze and address the problem than trump a proper solution by installing that type of protection. Spybot's "immunize" function is probably a better choice. Regardless, you must keep the software updated or, like an expired antivirus product, it will do orders of magnitude LESS good for you.
