Welcome to the group, Angie!

Things to try to get the site to work:

-Sounds like you need to empty your cache, i.e. your browser is
loading up old pages from memory instead of the updates. I didn't know
how to do that for my Netscape browser, so I had to click on 'help'.
If that's what anyone else is using, you go into 'Edit' then
'preferences', then double-click on 'advanced' -- more menu options
come up. Click on 'cache' and stuff comes up to the right, including a
'clear cache' button which you click on. After that, the site worked
perfectly for me.

-On TLC, some AOL posters said it wasn't working on that browser; they
had to switch to another one.

-Some people said going to JKRowling.org or JKRowling.co.uk worked for
them instead of JKRowling.com.  I wonder if that isn't just related to
the first thing above -- maybe changing the URL caused their browsers
to *not* rely on the caches.

Anyway, good luck and happy hunting!
