Me, too.

Must be something to do with the change of server?

Yes it is, when we moved server we changed the ip address of the website. It takes a while for the domain name servers to get updated and point 'www.trade2win.com' to our new ip (our new server). This process can take up to a day, and as there are lots of DNS servers around the web, the process happens piecemeal, one person accessing the web might get our old ip and another our new ip, whilst this process is taking place. If you're getting the old server then you'll see a holding page with a link to our actual ip address in order to access T2W.

If you're accessing it in this way and you can see http://70.85.55.4 in your location bar, then you're going to find you have to relogin, and until the 'www.trade2win.com' domain resolves automatically to this new ip - you might also find your firewall is blocking the thumbnails, as it thinks it's a new website, which is a problem affecting some people using ZoneAlarm that is covered here: http://70.85.55.4/boards/showthread.php?t=9902&page=1&pp=15 - but if I were you, I'd just wait a few hours until you can reach the site from the normal url.
