Clear your web browser’s cache, cookies and history. See if that takes care of it.

The site does run slow from time to time.

I’ve tried it on 3 different computers over the last 3 days. Including my phone. I’ll give it a shot though.

Also, when I’m logged out the site works fine. I’m not sure which admin to talk to about this. I was hoping they’d check here.

It could be your ISP.

My ISP is wireless and sometimes(OK, most of the time) it’s crap and they do filter packets from time to time.

Also try different browsers. It can’t hurt. I’ve had YYE work as good as can be expected on all the major browsers. I prefer to use Firefox as my web client of choice.

I’ve tried 2 different networks plus my phone’s 3G connection. And now 4 different browsers. Plus I can’t log on to the iPhone App.  
I think it has to be something wrong with my account.
