    Hi

    What Windows version and what Browser are you using?

    But first off I would do a bit of cleaning of temps and cookies and use CCleaner for this, just click the cleaner then run cleaner, (do this with your browsers closed) then open and try again, likely you may need to sign in to the website again to make comments.

    Hi Halo

    Thanks for responding.

    I done a full system restore to factory settings earlier and it still does it so wont need to do the CC Cleaner, thanks for the idea though.

    I am using windows vista and am on internet explorer 8. I have also tried firefox aswell and it doesnt work on that. I think i have the cookies enabled ok but am now starting to doubt if i have. Any ideas please??

    Thanks again

    Hi

    At this point, I would think it is an error on the site, have you tried contacting the site admin about the issue?

    Hi MCSMC

    Thanks for responding

    I have tried contacting them but had no repsponse but if you look on there loads of other people are commenting so im thinking it must be working and am wondering if its something to do with my settings, do you think it may be that??

    Hi

    What security applications are you using? please name all.

    What you could try as some Antivirus/Firewalls do block some internet items, is to disable any security apps you have running and try again,

    Try also booting into Safe Mode with Networking and try there (F8 at boot for safe mode)

    Hi Halo

    I have just tried it with it booted up in safemode with networking and the same thing happened. I also have mcafee security and tried it without that recently and the same proble. its really frustrating as i have been using the website for about a year.

    When you post a comment you do it in a pop up box that comes up on it and everyones comment are in that. Would there be some sort of setting in my internet options that could possible be set wrong.

    thanks
