Try this proxy if on Virgin.

--------------------------------------------------------


Proxy for IE


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proxy goes in your browser.

The proxy to use is : webcache.virginmedia.com

The port number is : 8080


How to set up proxy in Internet Explorer 6/7

Step 1 — On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings.
Step 2 — Under Proxy server, click to select the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box.
Step 3 — In the Address box, type the IP address of the proxy server. (e.g. proxy.abc.com or 202.188.17.24)
Step 4 — In the Port box, type the port number that is used by the proxy server for client connections (by default, 8080).
Step 5 — You can click to select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box if you do not want the proxy server computer to be used when you connect to a computer on the local network.
Step 6 — Click OK to close the LAN Settings dialog box.
Step 7 — Click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box.

Sounds like it could be a DNS issue. 'fraid I don't know Virgins DNS server IPs though.
Worth a try.

You could try Firefox http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

Doubtful that a proxy will work if you have to login to the forum.

Try Open DNS
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
