Site no longer loads on Google Chrome. Why?

I no longer have access for 2 days. Any ideas. Used IE in a friends computer to access site. Not computer savvy and not sure it I am just out of luck if I can no longer access PBS from my computer. Just spins and says gateway timout. Will check back when I can find a computer with IE browser.

I've been using Chrome all along and have not experienced the connection problems that members are talking about.

My Chrome version is:

Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have logged on at various times of the day and night from home using Chrome, IE as well as the new browser Edge; I prefer Chrome but the others work alright. I also logged in during business hours at work using Chrome. The only thing I can think of causing a problem is that depending on the member's location in the country we're being routed through different servers and there are traffic problems on specific servers.

I also use Chrome, multiple computers, and haven't experienced any problems. I think I got one gateway error last week, otherwise no problems through the site maintenance. Clear your Chrome History to get rid of anything bad that might be loading from history.
