Help, Ive broken it!

[venta]

At the moment, I can log into livejournal, but as soon as I navigate to another part of the site, I'm all logged out again.

I can't find anything about this in the FAQ, and though the support site lists this as a 'known problem', the post is from August, and Ive never had any problems like this before.

Anybody know what might be happening, and whether I've done something stupid ?

(I'm using Fisher-Price Windows, if that's relevant)

This problem is not going away

... but it seems that it's only logging in via the little boxy things in the top left that's a problem. Logging in via posting a comment is fine.

Unfortunately, having read various people's journals this morning, there were no comments I wanted to make. So I'm adding spurious comments to my *own* posts, just so I can log in.

Bah.

Is your ISP NTL perchance?

Er... yes.
Can I blame NTL for this as well, then ?

Quite possibly.

I've had a similar problem at home, including on my new laptop. The laptop works fine from the office but sometimes breaks as described at home.

I therefore blame NTL and their dodgy web cache/proxies.

After a truly dire patch on tuesday, they seem to have rebooted them or something as everything is much happier and LJ seems to be working as normal again, has your problem disappeared?

Oooh, I dunno. Am at work today, and as such haven't checked. I'll try when I get home tonight.

(Mind you, I think work's connection is also NTL, though I didn't notice the problem here anyway)

Work probably doesn't use NTL's Web Poxy.

It's gone...

... yup, at home last night the problem was all sorted. Thanks.

Of course, instead IE hung randomly, on average once every three-four pages. Unsure whether to blame IE, XP, NTL or some other bunch of letters :)
