(Since this exchange now includes both top and bottom posting, there's 
no way I can be consistent)

I'm having no trouble reading the linuxcnc.org site using

1) my EMC2 box running Ubuntu 10.04LTS and FireFox  3.6.18
2) my iPhone running iOS 4.2.9 and whatever the version of the included 
Safari [seriously, I'm not trying to brag about my phone, it's just the 
only Apple product I own, [and I bought it as the only easy access to my 
wife's medical test data [don't ask]]].
3) my WindowsXP box running Chrome 12.742.122.
4) my Windows7 laptop running Firefox 5.0.

Maybe you have a corrupted cache or misdirected proxy?

Regards,
Kent
