hey bigvolley and all others:
I just got off the phone with cablevision IT Internet department. They are aware of the activa/amazon problem and are trying to fix it. I have told them that is has been down all day-He was very helpful and said that it would be fixed as quickly as possible. He sounded like he knew what was going on; and that he understood how auctiva affects ebay. I will call back if it's not restored in a few hours. This is all due to an outage I am guessing which is in my area.
