Whenever I try to log in, something kicks me out of DU.

And today, whatever it is, it actually severed my connection to the Internet.
Normally, that little icon at the top, which says something like "If this page does not refresh, click here" is covered up by a sudden dropping blank bar as I try to click on it. And there is a larger icon down toward the bottom that says something like "Please try again." It's as though somebody is playing a weird cat and mouse game with me, trying to prevent me from getting back into DU any time I try to sign in. This is a recent phenomenon. I have to try hard to click on the icon at the bottom and race my mouse to the top as quickly as possible before the blank bar descends down over the icon at the top. I have, very recently, hit on depressing the Enter key, which makes another icon spring out of the icon at the top, offering me choices including something like "Open link," which I then click to get into DU. Today, however, I worked really fast and won the race to the top icon, and then suddenly the screen went blank and I was kicked out of Yahoo.com, too. Nothing happened until I had cut off the power to the computer for a few minutes and then restarted it. And even then it took awhile. And I had to go through Yahoo.com. I tried going through Amazon, but that didn't work. I don't imagine you can help me, but I just thought I should report it to you.

to one of the administrators (contact us at the bottom) or post it in the Ask the Administrators group.

The only thing I can even suggest is to check your "preferred formats" under "my accounts" and make sure they are set for your device, but I think the problem may be on your end.
