[NTLUG:Discuss] flashing page in browser...

[Fred James]

Well knock me over and call me silly - what do you make of that?
I just got home and tested again from here, and guess what - no problem!
- where did it go?
The only thing I can add at this point is the my cable provider had an
outage last night (at the "head end", they said) - could whatever they
fixed have been the issue?  Dark, in the dark, that's where I am -
anybody got a guess?
