this is the first time ever I have had problems. strange
 
I get it all the time but assumed it was due to our firewalls
 
Me too. No matter which computer I use it gives me this message. Have you called HO on it? I would be curious to know why it is happening.
 
I've never seen that message. I also use Vista and Internet Explorer.

I don't have that problem at home but did at my former office. It has to do with their firewalls. For some reason, it does not recognize pamperchef.com but does thepamperedchef.com which is a strange looking site.
 
if you look at the address it doesnt have the www. in the beginning. if you type it in and press ctrl D (to save to favorites) then just click that every time you want to go there, it wont do it anymore. it has to do with the link, its missing the www

i hope i explained it ok. i forgot my creamer at the store so i havent had any coffee in 2 days!!!!
