Problem persists, even when I re-open Electrum 5 times, it always stays offline. The internet connection is working fine, though. Anyone from the Electrum team willing to weigh in?

Thanks!

I can confirm this problem.

I had never used electrum before and tried a fresh installation on Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Electrum 1.9.5 and 1.9.6), and Xubuntu 12.04 (1.9.6), with two different internet connections.

Electrum always stays "not connected"...

Is there any problem with the auto-connect feature and/or the electrum servers?

I think you need to turn the auto-connect off, and just choose a server. That used to be possible with old versions of electrum but seems bugged now. But you are right, the developers need to answer
