Howard--I had no need to . Other than having that short downtime and having to reenter username/password everything just worked.
Did anyone else who is having this issue try the simple solution here (shown quoted here)? Or another browser? With all of the issues I am trying to work on... Chasing ghosts in the machine is the least fun, and with the relative lack of information, doesn't give me much to go on. If someone has an idea... I'm open to suggestions.
