The week leading up to Memorial Day weekend, and the weekend itself, I have experienced problems with staying online - online forums, chat rooms, art supply forums, etc.  It seems that as I am printing info about a new art supply product, writing a response to someone's question on a forum/chat room, searching info about "whatever," I suddenly get disconnected to the internet.  Why? 

I made an angry phone call to customer service of my high-speed internet provider, here in Maryland.  They calmly explained to me that there had been no interrruption in internet service, basically it wasn't them.  What was it? 

During the weekend, I noticed that whenever I went to a vendor site, like Amazon, I was never disconnected from the internet.  Yet, whenever I went to a chatroom, forum, info search, etc., I suddenly got disconnected. 

Anyone else experience this happening to them while online?  Or, is there a compulsive consumer ghost in my machine?  Maybe I need an exorcism?

I haven't seen this happen with other users on this forum at this point.  But, maybe it has to do with your security settings or browser settings. 

I would recommend doing some research into your browser settings, checking for "time out" activity in the help files. 

Really, I'm not sure why this problem would occur. 

Good luck,
