I've worked it out!!

I can't get into threads with a % in the title, strange!

Im using firefox with Windows XP, it works at home with the same combination, and also with firefox for mac.

I get this error.

The connection was reset













The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Very odd, I've just tried in your other thread using FF 3.0.3 and it worked fine.

Which version of Firefox are you using?

Have you tried with any other browsers, just to see if it is Firefox or something else?

Just tried in Internet Explorer, didn't work

If the same across different browsers it would suggest proxy/ISP issue or PC's regional settings to me ...

Indeed it is!

One thing you can try though, if you delete the &nmt= and everything after it in the url then it might just work.

like this link: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Let me know if it works!
