svpii,

Check the other threads in this forum. It's been happening often to most of us lately, but Randy's crew was supposed to have corrected the problems.
Happened to me again twice tonight, and as you did, I had to log off the default as the only way to get out of the mess.
Seems like it happens more often during busier times of the day and on weekends, when their server is getting hit hard.
