Is anyone else having this problem? I start a puzzle and have to save it about every other move because I keep getting kicking off the server. Sometimes I am reconnected automatically to the site but not to the puzzle; and sometimes I have to re-enter the site's address. This doesn't happen on any other site and I am on the web ALOT and am all over the place. This has been happening a month or more now. It makes working puzzles really tough.

Do you use IE? Several people have been reporting vaguely similar problems with IE since mid-December.

Yes.

I have not been able to figure out what is expoding inside IE in enough detail to be able to figure out how to work around it. My recommendation for the moment is not to use IE. Firefox, Safari and Chrome are all working better right now.

Don't know how to do that.

Any progress on this fix? For a few days I could finish a small puzzle without being kicked off, but lately I get kicked off about every couple of minutes. It makes staying on line no fun at all.

I don't use IE anymore same thing kept happening to me. I use Google Chrome it's great!
