For the last 24 hours or so, I've been experiencing "freezing" of the screen, especially when I click to go back to the forum home page. (I get mostly blank screen, as the page fails to load, and I can't navigate away.)
Is anyone else experiencing this lately? Thoughts?  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

No problems here Peter - perhaps the cold of early winter in Canada? Why not try cleaning out your browser cache and cookies, and then login again? ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

Good question. I know how to "clean out" the cookies in the kitchen, though -- only too well!

Hey! I'll have you know my igloo is cozily heated with seal-oil lamps!
 Problem hasn't happened tonight, BTW....
 Can you guide me on yer arcanne techno fix, though, just in case -- in ancient layman's English?   ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

People seem a little confused here. Cache is essentially just data that is stored on your computer (in the case of using the internet, more specifically browser cache, stored in Temporary Internet Files or similar folder on your hard drive, on Microsoft OS' anyway, I can't speak for other OS' since I don't use them) that is used so your computer doesn't have to constantly "recollect" original data again and again, and as a result, web pages you normally browse will appear to load faster. That is a pretty simple way of explaining it anyway. -------------

Anyway, clearing browser cache and cookies. For IE users, click on Tools and then "Delete Browsing History". Firefox users, Tools and then "Clear Private" and select which data you want to delete (assuming "ask me before I clean private data" is turned on in Tools>Options and then the Privacy tab. -------------
