Solution for Singnet Problem with Blogspot

For the past 4 days or so, I'm experiencing some problems with BlogSpot. At the 'create post' page, the page layout is out of alignment, and some of the icons are unclickable, so I can't change font colour, style...etc.

After some investigations, this problem appears to come from my Internet Service Provider --- SingNet! Wierd eh? Lolx.
Well, here's the solution for SingNet users:-

Manual proxy settings need to be applied on web browser.

* For IE 7.0 & below:

  1. Tools -> Internet Options
  2. Click on "Connections" page tab
  3. Click on "LAN Settings" button (if you are using Broadband)
  4. Check "Use a proxy server for your LAN ..." checkbox
  5. Click on "Advanced" button
  6. Under HTTP type, input "proxy.singnet.com.sg" for proxy address and "8080" for port
  7. Click on "OK" button 3 times to confirm changes

* For FF 2.0::

  1. Tools -> Options
  2. Click on "Advanced" tab
  3. Click on "Network" page tab
  4. From the "Connection" frame, click on "Settings" button
  5. Select "Manual proxy configuration" option
  6. Under HTTP proxy, input "proxy.singnet.com.sg" and "8080" for port
Now, all SingNet users can use Blogspot normally!
See? My colours are back!

Does anybody knows if using this proxy will cause any problems? Or privacy or connection speed issues?
Thanks!!

I posted a link to your 2007 post at the blogger forum. Hope you don't mind. It worked for me. But still believe that we need to get to the root cause of the conflict.

I tried your method but it didn't work. My create a post page doesn't even show the options for changing colours or font size etc. The blogger background isn't there too. It's just a white background with boxes and words.

what can i do? please advice! :(

This is really helpful!
thanks for the guide!
Even though I'm using Safari, but i think its the same setting for all web browsers.
Cheers!
