 * After installing 3.8.2 I have attempted to update my widgets however everytime
   I try and load the widget toolbar it refuses to load and sometimes gives me an
   error, at other times searches the page title.
 * I would appreciate any help with this as this function is crucial to my website.

 * I think it was 500. Currently on my work PC and here it just google searches 
   the page title. I’ll update once I get home.

 * May be its the internet connection or may be In Internet Explorer, the message
   The website cannot display the page often indicates an HTTP 500 Internal Server
   Error. A 405 Method Not Allowed error is another possibility but you can be sure
   by looking for either 500 or 405 in the IE title bar.
 * Most of the time, a 500 Internal Server Error displays inside the Internet browser
   window, just as web pages do.

 * I use Chrome on both pcs.
 * And I’m sure it is the 500 internal server error just off the top of my head.
   From the way you described it

 * Unsure what to send as it’s the Widgets page for WordPress.
