Anybody else having difficulties logging on to the website? I've cleared my cache just in case but no effect. It's glacial

It seems to be a problem with chrome. Logged in fine with IE. I'll investigate further. Thanks guys.

Today has been OK but I did resort to clearing my cache twice.

Extract from a posting on the ThinCatsVIP forum
" The main public-facing ThinCats website (www.thincats.com) has been intermittently unstable over the past few days and we would like to apologise for this degraded service.
We have now thoroughly investigated this issue and have determined that the website has been subjected to a Slow Denial Of Service (Slow DoS) attack that has meant that the website has been intermittently unavailable. We have taken steps to mitigate this problem and will continue to monitor the website for any further issues. We would like to emphasise that this attack was limited to the public-facing website and not the ThinCats application and that client security has not been compromised.
Currently the website has been stable for the last 36 hours.
Thank you for your understanding. "
A Slow DoS seems strangely appropriate
