Guest Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Since last night, whenever I log on to the forum the hotlinks and the 'day/time' and 'logged in' bubbles have kind of overlapped (top left hand corner of the screen under the fsf logo). There's also a red x with the words 'site message' and 'message will auto close in 2 seconds' which it doesn't,and there's no message either! I can still access the forum but I can't get at the hotlink for 'view unread messages' - which I use all the time I've tried logging out and in again, restarting my browser (firefox) and even my pc. Anyone else have this problem or any ideas what it could be? Its very frustrating not being able to get straight to the unread posts!

Inge Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 not got a problem with it.. but I use Google chrome as my browser.. my first port of call whenever I have browser issues is to empty the cahce.. and then if that doesn't work I try a refresh- control/ F5 which often works... may be worth a try if you haven't already Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyPancakes Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm waiting to find out what the CACHE is too! Honey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 web caches to store previous responses from web servers, such as web pages. They help reduce the amount of information that needs to be transmitted across the network, as information previously stored in the cache can often be re-used. it helps to improve responsiveness for users of the web. now how to clear it.. I do this regularly but ass I use chrome it may be different for other browsers.. found this.. it may be easier than my trying to explain it... How to clear your cache I also clear cookies and history regularly, surprising how much 'rubbish' is stored when browsing on internet!
