Anyone else come across this. presumably it related to a programme running on the member's PC.

^ Yes, apparently it's caused by the pop-up blocker feature on a personal firewall (usually "CA Personal Firewall") - just disable the Firewall Popup Window Blocker and you should be able to post normally.

You should need to disable the whole firewall, just the Popup blocker option

Yeah, it's kinda risky taking down your whole firewall. That leaves you quite exposed to viruses and stuff.
