Could you tell me as much information as you can about your computer setup and Internet connection?  In particular:
[list]
[*]What browsers have you tried (and what versions)?
[*]What operating system are you running?
[*]What kind of internet connection do you have and what speed?
[*]Are there any restrictions on your internet connection such as those imposed on office networks?
[*]What kind of computer hardware are you using: what power cpu and how much ram and any other relevant details?
[*]Is there anything else you can think of that is unusual in your situation that might explain why you are experiencing the problem?
[/list]
I'll work with you directly to do some more debugging if there is no clear problem with any of the above.

Please PM me if you would rather discuss these details privately.

Thanks,
Andrew

I also have this problem, just 'connecting' once I open the window, and if i click outside of it, the connecting disappears and it just goes black. This is the same on both chrome and firefox.

I'm on an i5 750, 2.67ghz quad core, 4gb RAM
