Thanks Boo and yes I do on my desktop, so I will try.

Don't know which OS you use, but I use a Mac and when I had problems I looked at the option for my browser that is labelled 'develop' and from there chose the subsection 'show web inspector'

<this is my desperation choice when things aren't right. I don't really understand much of it but that doesn't stop me looking!>

It had a red exclamation mark and at the bottom it said something about a content blocker was preventing something else  from loading/ happening.

I understood the words 'content blocker' (but nothing much else!) so tried the whitelist option and hey presto, the problem went away.

If you have a similar 'develop' option for your browser it may be worth a look? Even if you don't understand it, the techy folk at the site may do,  it may help them  to be able to get to the bottom of the problem?

Thanks Boo.  I did find something which is similar called Developer but couldn't seem to do anything.

So I went for a walk.

When I got back there was a message from the webmaster saying that he had been working on it and had sorted the problem.

Hooray I can now get in.

Thanks all for your helpful suggestions.
