Trying to buy an SSD but I cannot complete payment using either Paypal or credit card. Paypal login details do not show on the screen and the three boxes for CC details will not allow me in fill them in.
Anyone else having issues?
 
Undoubtedly will do but not at 7:30 in the evening. Just wondered if anyone else was having difficulties.
 
there is a massive internet outage world wide right now due to DDOS attacks so it's probably due to that, i know Paypal is one of the affected sites, possible bank systems are being affected as well.
 
Switching from your ISP or Google DNS to OpenDNS might do the trick

nslookup twitter.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** google-public-dns-a.google.com can't find twitter.com: Server failed

ipconfig /flushdns

nslookup twitter.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

It caused some amusing things on Netflix earlier (I assume its related) for awhile I could see (but not play) the US content in the UK store and even at one point could see some stuff for the walking dead season 7.
