all 3 of my macs using leopard on 2 and snow leopard on 1 will not load my website but it loads and works fine at the library computer. Bizarre. All other websites on our macs seem to work just fine. Only this single one.

Hi timg-

Here is a Support article detailing how to troubleshoot when Firefox does not load particular websites:

Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading

Hope that helps.

Have solved the problem now. The company hosting my website had somehow put a block on the ip address I was using via my router and had put it in a group of "known bad addresses". They have now removed address from this list so now works fine. Phew!
