I'd guess it might be a local DNS issue.

Once I got some porn site (no joke) when trying to access GMATClub. Only happened once and never again. I figured the problem was on my end. Had I not been at work I would have "investigated" further :rotate

I too had problems with the site this morning. It gave me SQL error message. But it was briefly.

This is what makes this site so special. No Not that fact that there was a mistake, but the fact that a person owed up to it and apologised so publicly!!!

Kudos dzyubam!
