Hi Gordon,

There are many possible answers.  You do not give the URLs that you are
trying so it is hard to guess which ones to check.  Twp possible reasons are:

1.  RootsWeb is installing some new bigger faster servers.  You may have
tried a page that is on the one currently being replaced.

2.  You may need to clear your browser cache.  Many times a computer will
try to load a page from memory and if a failure had occurred, it will keep
loading that failure page.

I have been to several RootsWeb pages and uploaded several pages during the
past few days without problem.
