www.ebgames.com is down.

It's up now. If everything looked ok when you placed your order, I
would imagine the information was saved, and the order is ok.

When a site like EB Games or GameStop, etc go down, I get nervous.

Usually you can look at your order after you placed it. I'm sure EB is
the same. You should try that. Maybe something clickable in an email
they sent you.

I have the homepage on my links bar on IE but after it loads (presumably a
cached page) nopne of the links work and if I hit refresh on the home page
it craps out.

You should try traceroute then. It might not be the site, but somewhere
between. Does XP still have traceroute? I haven't used it in forever.

Hmmm....I just checked a minute ago, and while the
front page is showing just fine, anything on the page
I click on gets an error. Weird.

It works for me deeper down. The front page is more likely to be in
your cache. See if it still works when you refresh.

Do you speak, or think out sentences with proper

If anyone can't get to ebgames.com, click "start," then click "run,"
then type"tracert ebgames.com" and run it. See if it shows any
problems. The idea is to see if the problem isn't in your path to
ebgames.com, instead of the site itself.

I checked (I had used Crap Cleaner earlier, not thinking about it)
and it works now. Thanks.

You're losing your hair. Your pubic hair, that is. It's falling out. Please
clean this mess up.
