    This afternoon, I started getting a "Connection timed out" message on a website I visit frequently (MetsBlog.com). It was working fine up until this afternoon. I am able to visit the website with no problems on my computer, and all other websites are working on the Tour. I have tried a battery pull.

    What's going on?

    It is possible that your carrier was having data problems, or RIM's proxy servers were having problems at the time.

    Just tried opening the site in Opera. It opens there, but still not in the BB browser.

    Then we can blame RIM's proxy servers!

    But why would I only be having problems with one site?

    Myriad of reasons. DNS lookup problems with the proxy server, bad cache data, botched configuration, etc. I can't give you a definite reason as I don't work for RIM nor have access to their proxy server to debug it

    Can someone try? Is the site working for everyone else through the BB browser?

    How can I solve this?

    I disabled Javascript on the BB browser, and the site now comes up fine. Interesting.
