Worth clearing out your internet cache. The "last read" think uses a cookie I think, so might be something going on with that? You'll have to re-login though when you return to the forum for the first time, as it'll lose your login info...

chucking my cookies as suggested by Julian seems to have done the trick, thank you all for your suggestions.

It also could have been due to people stealing things from a major ISP in Canary wharf; seems to have meant that a lot of sites (including some I host for work) have been slow, but still accessible, in rather odd ways.

See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/01/level3_robbery/ for the gory details.
