Try making a new user called 'test_felix' and be sure to use a different email address. see if you can logon and post. If so, then we have found the problem.
I don`t think it`s the proxies causing it, he said that he CAN login from school, and CAN`T login from home. Since he can still login from school, it can`t be a corrupt account- if it were anything on the forum end, he wouldn`t have been able to post this message, right (and apparently it happens at other forums aswell) ??

Like Andrewas said, it probably isn`t the machine, since it`s been through a format.

Which leaves *drumroll*...
The ISP

or

A format-surviving virus.

Most likely the ISP, though- viruses are atleast a little more destructive than this, usually...
