Thanks

Here are the results of the test (we did it twice - same
results both times):

;SP1;Q810847;Q813951;Q813489;Q330994;Q818529;Q822925;Q82875
0;Q824145;Q832894;

I have noticed several other similar posts the past few
days of people being unable to login to sites that require
passwords or that are 'secure' - could this be stemming
from the same problem?
