Why wouldnt I believe you??

Today around 8am PDT--- you could go to the site and enter into each forum but not into the threads. You can see a large gap between posts. Visit times will be up to date but trying to get into threads was the issue. Here you could come to the site but not access the individual car forums (eg W211 E55 for example).
