Im asking this here because I have tried several times to access AR15.com today and keep getting a prompt saying an Active X control isnt safe on that site. Since TFL and AR15.com use the same software, I'm wondering, can anyone here help me out? BTW, I'm using IE 5. Thanks.

I use Netscape...
I just got the message "Server down or not responding"

I think your Active X message is just some peculiarity of IE....the server is down and we wait

BP - ActiveX is a MSoft OLE protocol that allows/controls interactive window activities like animation, push buttons, etc. I don't know why ar15.com is rejecting your login, but you might try to use a lower security setting. Go to the Control Panel; open "Internet Options"; select the security tab and then select a lower security level. (If using WinNT, go to same screen and click on Enable ActiveX). If this doesn't help, well, I'm clueless.

Just got off ar15.com. They must be up and running again. The falfiles will be going down sometime today though, for updating.
