able to access it all weekend?

Darned puzzling it is.

They have some sort of instant ad for the SR CCG, I believe.. you load the
page, and its supposed to display the ad, then goto the main page. I know
lynx ( my primary browser ), just coughs on it, though..

You're not along - the AOL browser (Gah!) loads the ad and stops. Good
thing I could remember that FASA's SR directory was
http://www.fasa.com/Shadowrun/ - and that they had an obvious SR home
page (SRHOME.html:) Haven't tried accessing the directories for BT or ED.
Probably work out the same way, though.

Have patience people.
It appears to just be working on a timed "push" system.
Yes you get stuck at the ad for awhile, but eventually you skip ahead to
the main page.
Then again, some browsers may not support push tech after all ... sorry.
