I assumed that it's now working because someone fixed the issue.  Ignition started working normally for me about 6 hours ago, without messing around with DNS cache. 

I JUST started working again for me.  Hopefully, it's all good to go now. 

Been having an odd issue with Ignition for at least the past month or so.  When the page would open, there would be no CDLC visible.  Up until last night, refreshing the page would fix the problem.  For the past 18 hours or so, refreshing no longer does the trick.  . 

I haven't noticed much in the way of forearm pain, but the area of my palm, right around the thumb, gets to killing sometimes.  Being a beginner who has smallish hands, I suspect I'm gripping the neck too tightly and putting too much pressure on whatever string I'm playing.  Just stretching back and forth between the first and third frets is a real bitch for me, even when trying to use my pinky to do it.  I think it's that exact scenario that leads to most of my pain.  I have a feeling that I may also have my action set way too high, but I just get a lot of rattle if I lower the strings much.  Not sure if it's something I'm doing, or if my Ibanez GSR190 is an even bigger piece o' shit than I thought. 

I've considered looking into a short-scale bass, but I find myself being ashamed of the idea.  I guess I kinda see it as being akin to learning to drive in a car with a manual transmission.  If you can drive stick, you can drive anything.  Also, I've heard that short-scale basses just don't sound nearly as good, for some reason.
