In about 4 hours from now.

But the time exactly will be different depending on which time zone you live in. Central time it should be at midnight, Eastern standard time it would be around 1am Monday morning, Pacific time should be 11pm Sunday night.

Or East coast australia it will be about 2pm Monday Afternoon.

press F5 and force a complte page refresh rather than loading from computer memory

Adam · 08-13-2012, 06:29 AM

I think the link may have originally been missing the 'www' prefix or something link that. It's definitely there now!

**photolady95** · 08-13-2012, 10:43 AM

Arjay Bee that is how i always refresh a page. And at that time it didn't help.

Thanks Adam. And it worked this time.
