Did anyone else have trouble with downloading from Cute Embroidery, Cute Alphabets, Amazing & Adorable Applique yesterday. I could open the page's but no photos shoed & when I tried to download I got a message saying the site could not be found. they were down for 28hours as far as I know. or was it something to do with being in the outback & using generated power or battery on laptop.

I had not heard of anyone else having that trouble yesterday.
That will happen if you cannot get on the internet. Your computer will used cached information but will not be able to access new information. It can also happen if your internet is "spotty" (meaning it is on and off frequently)
Depending on your computer settings, you may have been "reserving" battery power. If my laptop battery is low, I will have some of those issues.

A lot of us had this problem last week.. not sure why it happened.. If you could get other internet sites then your power wasn't the problem, maybe it's the fairies at the bottom of the garden playing tricks with us.. hehehe.. hope everything is working fine now.
