Hello Sandra, Yes, it happened at least twice last week. It could be related to the upgrades that were scheduled recently. I'll be keeping an eye out, thanks.

We have had intermittent problems over last week or so. Down again this morning...and then up again a few minutes later. This is not just at journal level but at www.sciencedirect.com<http://www.sciencedirect.com> home page level. The error message is numbered as SD-008, with an instruction to contact the Help Desk with no indication of how to do so. We're not getting any help from Elsevier - one response so far suggested it was a problem with IE when the user was actually using Firefox! Not a good time for this to happen.
