have seen this a lot, always after loading the reply page.

I am getting this consistently when trying to log in on chrome, on my work computer.
I seem to be able to view any page not logged in and have just logged in on  IE to post this question?

[sidewinder]

Anyone any ideas how to overcome this on chrome (sorry for message split).

Working fine for me at work (Chrome) - is this a work network thing?

[sidewinder]

No, unless a work + chrome network thing as it is fine on IE
