Try refreshing your browser or even deleting all your cookies and starting again. However, this will mean re-logging in to any sites you visit, so don't forget the passwords!

Sometimes I've had problems with particular sites and for one or two I use an alternative browser.

Mozilla Firefox 2 is a useful one to try as an alternative to Internet Explorer. There are others.
Best regards, John

Thanks John i have tried refreshing the browser to no avail.
It only occurs when i click on the Pentaxuser shortcut on my desktop. The page can't be found and it expires and when i do get it too work logging in is ok. Its the only shortcut i am having problems with so i thought it might be server issues at your end :

Nothing like that at all Clarky. It's just Nature's way of telling you to do something else with your life. This little known feature usually kicks in when a user surpasses the 4 posts per day average and you are waaaay overdue.

Get outside and take some pictures!

I've encountered lots of problems connecting to the forum in the last few days, both from my home and office PC's.

As near as your wife and I can tell, of the top 10 most prolific posters you easily have top prize for that statistic and are actually more than double George's modest amount.
