Well, that's solved it then. Thanks.

Total hunch and I haven't had a coffee yet this morning but clear cookies and see if that resolves it?

Doesn't PH run much better on Chrome? Got rather fed up with IE and its a revelation!

[Podie]

Worked for a while (about 6 posts) - now back again.

Curious... no issues here. Must be on your end

On windows that's typically the case, yes.
On macs, safari is back in the lead - the latest version on 10.8.1 is lightning quick.

IE works fine.

[gowmonster]

posted 6 times from chrome on win7 and works for me, same version of chrome.

Despite the OP's assertion that Chrome is at fault it may have something to do with that animal on the last line of the first post

[Podie]

This is all on one machine, at one location.

IE8 works without issue, every time.
Chrome periodically produces the error listed in the OP.

I'll try the machine on another network / connection.

Ah, well spotted, he's going through a proxy. Doh.

Who uses them these days?
