ive had cookie problems, and ive tried to ammend the problem..however, before i do that, i want to understand something:

quote:

When you visit a web page on the Internet, there is a statistically excellent chance you will visit that same exact web page in the near future. Knowing this, your browser saves a copy of the page on your local hard disk and, when it detects you returning to the page, it gives you the local copy instead of asking a web server for the remote copy.

if someone can make sense of that to me, id be appreciative, hehe
thanks people,
janelle

Your computer remembers the pages you've visited on the internet. It keeps a copy of the last visit to that page in your memory on your personal system. When you return to that page, it pulls up the copy from your own memory rather than the newest version on the site.

If this happens to you, you can click on "reload" or "refresh"... If that doesn't work, you can hold the shift key down as you click on the refresh/reload button. This SHOULD do it for you - depending upon your ISP - (Internet Service Provider)... Let's take one step at a time - Try that first - If it doesn't work, HOLLLLLLLER...!!!...

If you're using Internet Explorer, go to the "Tools"....then "Internet Options" and then "temporary internet files" should be the second topic down, choose to delete files.

That should erase the pages you've visited.
It won't hurt anything, if anything at all, when you visit a page again, it will load it like it's the first time you've been there.

Now next to the DELETE FILES, there is a SETTINGS button, click on that, and choose "everytime I visit a page."

It should automatically reset itself (mine did anyway)...and that should enable you to see your posts. Try that and see if it works.

I also posted in your other thread, where to look...a static page is one that doesn't change, like most web pages...PIP on the other hand, changes all the time. Your computer automatically pulls up web pages as if none of them changed. That's why we run into this problem with not being able to see our replies.
