    I can see it just fine.

    Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again.

    Have you tried a different browser?

    What operating system are you using?

    OK, try clearing your DNS cache as outlined in this: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1600/vista_dns_cache_flush/ .

    You’re welcome. The http 400 error has to do with malformed URL’s and sometimes the cookie/cache dance cures it and sometimes it takes a DNS cache clear.
