"The Connection Has Been Reset"
I keep getting this message after I click a link (any link) on this forum. But when I then refresh the page, it loads properly.
Has anyone else experience a similar issue?
If it matters, I use Firefox. I have never had this issue before.

I also use FF and since logging on to FT yesterday, have had this issue well over 90% of the time (in several different forums) 
However, I need to hit the retry button at least 5 or 6 times before the page will load properly and remain visible on screen.

I posted about this before. It happened only in Firefox, and only on FT. I gave up and switched to Chrome, and then to Opera to browse FT. Has worked perfect. Tried Firefox 2 days ago and it still has the problem. I assume it is caused by a plug-in in Firefox, but not sure.

This has been happening to me regularly for at least the past month. It's definitely a problem with the FT server.
I have experienced this issue with Firefox and IE on both of my laptops in addition to workstations at work on dozens of different internet connections.
Very very frustrating!
I suspect it has something to do with the 3rd party ads. The page will essentially load completely, render fully or almost fully then quickly throw the error.
EDIT: the Firefox error log confirms problems with the ads.

OOPS i posted this on the "wrong" thread already. I am in HKG and having this problem.. Its doing on both Firefox and Explorer.
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I continue to have this problem in FF...
I've tried Chrome, but I've found that that leads to another issue...where a new page will only load the header banner and get stuck. I have to refresh a few times (just as in FF) before the page loads properly.

Another data point:
I experienced this error twice recently, the latest time at a specific hotel in New Zealand. I stayed at 3 different hotels on the trip and saw this problem only at one specific hotel, and only on flyertalk.com. I used FF and did not try other browsers.
My workaround was to use the mobile site m.flyertalk.com, which functioned perfectly. After reaching my next hotel, I switched back to the regular site and have not had the problem recur.

Hi all,
Had the same problem, but with the same symptons as Mike above. It only happened in 1 specific hotel. Switched hotels and the problem has not re-appeared.

Just encountered this problem 4 times within the last 10 minutes. Using Firefox and was navigating from flyertalk.com/forum to different forum (i.e. SPAM) and this connection-was-reset thread. I know, how ironic!
This is what I got:
ps. When submitting this reply, I was hit again with the connection reset warning.

I've been suffering this for a long time. If it helps, I am invariably accessing American-AAdvantage forum using Firefox. Extremely frustrating.
EDIT: PS I do not get the problem if I route via the "ONSPEED" Proxy Server(I don't normally use this any more as it tends to slow me down rather than what they claim!).
