I believe the server was down but seems to be fine now.
That’s what I heard too....if you do Facebook, JimRob (Jim Robinson) posts information there. I don’t, but a couple FReeper friends usually let me know if they see something.
Everything was fine when I left work for home, but when I got home...no FR. I was at loose ends and in withdrawal all evening. LOL!
Here is the old, but still working, addy that some go to when FR is down. JimRob posts there also.

Thankfully all seems to be well now.
