Have you emailed
[hidden email]? If not, I would encourage
you to do so. They are most capable of giving you some points to test
in an effort to narrow down the problem and suggest whatever resolution
may be necessary.
Yes, they are not available until 8AM California time (or Arizona local
time), but the earlier you get into the email queue, the sooner you can
obtain an answer - they do have to sort through the emails that came in
before yours.
