often explorer would say that a web site wasn't available. trying again, it would work.
Only a guess... but sometimes I've seen this happen to computers were ad/malware was present. There are some really good posts here on freerepublic is you search a bit for adware, or you could look here for a start:
Arstechnica - Spyware removalSpywarewarrior
There may be better links out there, but that's good for start.

thanks.
yeah, i downloaded a spy ware and pop-up blocker that i saw here.
the weird thing is that when i clear my history, cookies, etc., the posts on fr still stay red, they don't go back to blue.
