I can't seem to post off my laptop? Says session timeout? Any ideas?

If it does it for every attempt at posting, even after restarting your browser etc then it's possible your browsers cache or cookies for the site are screwed. It could alternatively just require something like a forced refresh, CTRL+F5 but I doubt it will do much.

Best thing to do would be to delete cache & cookies in your browser. I'd put instructions up but I'd need to know what browser your running :)

Right that does sound pretty knackered. You would pick the browser and OS combination I've never used, any how...

Of course check out the section for OSX, I'd tick the following boxes:
3rd, 4th, 6th and if you're not too fussed, the top one for safe measures.

If that doesn't help maybe some one with OSX experience might be able to help but I'd figure this site is safari compliant as I've read of others using Macs!

This site is definitely kosher with Safari, as that's what I'm currently using now on my IPad  :happy2:

I'm guessing what I posted didn't help? :( Unfortunately my sys admin duties is mainly linux/winblows. Never used OSX
