Trouble.....

Well thought I would take this chance to ask if anyone else is having trouble posting new threads/replies on the forums. I just installed windows xp and ie 6. Since then I have been unable to post anything on the board from home. I am having to do everything from uni. Keep getting errors such as: "Server hangup", "Page cannot be displayed" and more. Internet seems to run fine otherwise, just when I come to post stuff on the boards. PM'ed swamper about it but everything he has said has failed. Just wondered if any of u guys had the same trouble or is it just my pantz pc!?!?!?!?!?
