These are all assumptions/guesses but say if any of them are wrong:

You're on a Windows PC (is it XP, Vista or earlier?)
You're running Internet Explorer (version 6 or 7 or earlier?)
It's been working fine on this computer since the site upgrade
There haven't been any recent software updates to the computer
You've tried quitting the browser and the problem still occurs
You've tried rebooting the computer and the problem still occurs
Other websites seem to be working OK
lotuselan.net is working OK, it's just when you go to the forums it complains

In that case I'd say the next thing to try is to go in to the Internet Explorer settings and delete all of lotuselan.net from the history, and also delete all cookies for lotuselan.net. If you previously had it set to log you in automatically, that setting will be deleted, so make sure you can find your password before doing it (or be prepared to go through the password reset rigmarole).
If you're not sure how to do the above, then it will be easier to give instructions knowing which browser version you have.

Hi

We had a similar problem with my computer freezing on certain web pages, it would not load Facebook (the wife) and I had to go in the back way to Ebay. It turns out it was the Yahoo internet browser that we were using as it came as standard with our BT Broadband we used it and thought it was fine. We downloaded Google Chrome had have been using this with no problems for the last month or so.

We are running Vista and various internet security packages and thought this was the problem but in the end is was this simple thing :D

Hope this helps

Jason

PS John I will copy this to your email just in case
