I was having a problem with it earlier and I had the oddest fix. I started it in offline mode (it prompted me to occasionally, either "RETRY CONNECTION" or "START IN OFFLINE MODE"), then went up to Account or whatever tab it was and switched to online mode. Either it fixed it or was a major coincidence since it was going on for nearly an hour.
If the websites down I'm pretty sure the Servers are down too.
Neither is. :I
