Problem connecting to www.unix.com

I've been having a problem connecting to the forum. I know it is just something with my computer but I have no idea what it is. It started last week.

Every time I connect I get this:

I had someone else try it and they had no problem. Then I also came in via a link to The UNIX and Linux Forums - the Top UNIX & Linux Q&A on the Web and
there is no problem with that. From there, I can go into the different forums fine (but they weren't all working initially). Still, I cannot go to www.unix.com
without getting the above.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? That is how the forum came up after refreshing following a post and, ever since then, that is what I always get.

Yes, we upgraded the forums recently and you need to clear your browser cache and cookies, close and restart your browser.

So simple. Before posting I had deleted the cookies (had to look to find 2 of them) but not the cache and then later the cache but not the cookies.
