    Not experienced that on the NS&I site...however on the little description you've provided....a potential area to look at would be for you to occasionally manage your add-ons .....prob have installed too many occasional use or unrequired bits (without getting too techy!) which begin to conflict with each other....and cause browser related quirks like what you have described...

    A clearing of your cache and size reduction is always be a good thing too, close IE and then via control panel and then internet options

    The managing of browser add-ons is accessed with IE open, and then - Tools - Manage Add-ons - Enable or Disable Add-ons - - - within IE7, dont recall with IE8, but just hit F1 for help...and search for it!

    Oh, and removing/disabling add-ons will speed up your browser generally!

    Good Luck!

    ....back on topic - anyone know where ERNIE physically lives/exists !! ! ?

  • Won £25 this month but i have not received it yet - not normally as late as this but i think they are making system changes this month, i think, hence the delay...
    Have any other winners experienced delays this month..?

    Same as you I am also experiencing delays this month with receiving what I have won.
    As you say it might be down to the changes they are implementing this month also with it being the first draw of the year they may be behind on things.
    Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk

    That's what they say! As far as I'm aware the delays started in October'10 (when I last won a few pennies..). This month (Jan'11) I'm still waiting for my "huge" prize, despite NS&I having reduced the number and value of prizes substantially! So, it is obvious that savings are being made not only on money "dished out" but also on efficiency values! Talk about technical problems....my bonds!
