I don’t know why, but I’m not having any trouble accessing Fluther, in general. Seems normal to me.
Now, what I said above applies to what I see of the Fluther site itself. However, I’ve noticed that when I have Gmail open in one IE tab, then launch Fluther in another tab, Fluther seems to make Gmail hang or run extremely slowly. Fluther seems to kill Gmail. It’s as though Fluther runs a script in the background that somehow interferes with Gmail under IE. Maybe they use different incompatible versions of some supporting program.
I’ve temporarily solved this problem by moving Fluther over to Chrome. Somehow Fluther under Chrome does not affect Gmail under IE. I hope this info helps, and I hope someone at Google, Microsoft, or Fluther fixes the compatibility problem.
BTW, Fluther also kills another app under IE, but right now I don’t remember what that app was, since I haven’t had Fluther in IE for quite some time now. If I re-discover which one it was, I’ll get back to you.
