I use Firefox - for about a week now - I get this error message every time:
1) - I log in - immediately after entering my Forum name and p/word and hit log in.
2) - I press "advanced" when making a post.
Error message reads:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
And if it is just me - any ideas of what may be causing it and/or a solution?
Delete and reload Firefox maybe?

If many little people, in many little places, do many little things,
they can change the face of the world.

Thought it best if I updated this thread rather than leave my question open.
So ...
Looks like it was just me involved - and I think I found the cause via a trojan of some kind which had infiltrated my PC - traced via following some of the excellent advice on the Techie here - it was affecting me here - and even more noticeably by diverting any and all google searches.
Fingers crossed - it looks as though I have it quarantined.
