    I'm using Desktop IE10 and after a few minutes of browsing through FChat, the site will go down for me and stay inaccessible for a couple of hours. The problem is even worse in modern IE but doesn't happen with WinRT (surface).

    What about on other browsers? Chrome, Firefox, etc.

    "inaccessible for a couple hours" sounds like a problem with the cookie until it expires (?).

    Sure, I can provide any info you need. The problem repros on any of my Windows 8 machines, it doesn't happen with my Windows Server.

    You've never, ever used anything but Internet Exploder?

    I have used them, I don't have them installed on any of my machines and don't need to.

    I have a machine running (if you can call it that) Windows 8. I've used Firefox and Explorer without incident on that.

    I am not posting from that machine now. I would not install windows 8 on any computer I own that matters based on my test machine experience.

    I'll go into the laboratory and post up something from the windows 8 machine later tonight.

    :D

    Just recently I started seeing this error message rather than the standard IE error page:
    Your connection to this server has been blocked in this server's firewall.

    You need to contact the server owner for further information.

    Your blocked IP address is ----

    This server's hostname is challengeapp.ferrarichat.com

    I have windows 8 on my new laptop and Ferrari chat works just fine for me.

    And I have the worst internet I am in Afghanistan.

    That's with IE and Google Chrome they work fine.

    I installed firefox and the issue happens with that as well. It only seems to be happening from my laptop.
