I apologize for the issues with the site today. Some of you may have been able to access the site and/or the forum, while others are not connecting and instead getting a timed-out notice.
Unfortunately, our host service is experiencing technical problems affecting a considerable number of sites hosted on their servers, not just IHG. They were working to correct the problem and the site now seems to be consistently available.
Hopefully it is completely resolved but I have a sneaking feeling that we might still experience some outages throughout the day. I know that it can be frustrating so I appreciate your patience if you are having trouble accessing the site today.
