    Can anyone else confirm that it is ****, or is it my own computer?

    Funnily enough, it seems to be working fine if your use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer

    Life is generally improved when Internet Explorer is not in use. IE6 is the absolute bane of my working life, I have no time for anybody who is aware of other browsers yet doesnt care about upgrading; those people should be banned from using the web.

    No idea why people even bother with IE tbh, the alternatives are just so much better it absolutely baffles me.

    I'm not too much up on what the different ones do, and I just assumed that as other sites were working normally it must have been the server upgrade that was causing the probs, so thought I'd try Mozilla Firefox on the off-chance, and it is working normally now. Which one would you say is the best one, or are they all too different to say which is best. I've tried a lot of them at some time or another, but one I tried seemed to let in too many viruses/trojans and my old computer went down and I was never able to fix it, so I'm really cautious about trying something unless I know it is safe.

    The latest Firefox and the latest Chrome are the best all round browsers right now; much safer, faster, sleeker and more customisable than the likes of Internet Explorer which just continues to sellotape over one ****up at a time with each new 'release' if you can even call them that. Anyway, I'll say go with Firefox because you already have it apparently, but objectively there isn't much between the two.

    Honestly, after you have used Opera's browser. You'll appreciate IE an awful lot more!

    I'm using an iPad - works a treat for me.
    Re: IE6 - Microsoft officially buried it this week - no more support, it's dead and gone so upgrade or change is advised.
    Chrome works for me on a windows OS..

    Chrome all the way. ^_^
    It seems fine to me using that, anyway.

    IE9 is a lot better than it's predecessors. Chrome is awesome though!
