Hello everybody, Sometimes, when I try to do some actions in this forum, like post or view a thread, Firefox sais it cannot view the page. Refreshing works. I am using Ubuntu linux and it would be great if somebody could tell me how to fix that, its just annoying. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, dude; I can't advise you. I'm running Safari on Leopard, and the only time that I get that message is when the PF server is down.
