Im having this same bloody server time out and log on issue, once again. In order to to do a work around, I'm actually hardwired, via an ethernet cable, direct from my modem to my laptop, at the moment. But this isn't great because my VOIP phone service (and device) is now out of the chain and not operable.
This has to be some server issue, as right before this happened, yet again, last night, I was trying to post to one of the boards, and I got those pesky "400 server error" page a couple times, before the server time out issue started again. APF is the only site affected like this.
Grrrrrrrr.
