I went to the link you suggested and I cleared my user name and password cookies...will that help me view ALL replies to my posts though? Also (sorry to sound like a pain in the *you know what*), I don't really understand what people mean when they say that cookies allow the page you have visited to remain the way it was when you first visited it as opposed to updating it - don't pages usually stay the same anyway? Obviousely they have "cachering" (I actually learn something, hehe) - or whatever it is called - for a reason, and I don't want to mess up my whole internet if it's something important that serves a purpose across the net. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a page stay the same from the first time you visit it - it was kind of my belief pages on the net normally stay the same. And, if there are updates to homepages etc., I can view them. So..I don't get the deal. Janelle aka pain in the butt aka cookie monster :P |

Hello?? check your email....I emailed you about that, and tried to explain it... you can email me if you wish...I just went through this a couple months ago....the same exact problems.... Think of your cookie as memory...you visit a page, and it stores it in it's "memory." Everytime you visit that page again, it pulls the "old" page from the memory. Which on any ordinary website is fine. They are "stationary" pages, they don't change. The one you visit today, is the same tomorrow. Here on Passions, they change constantly, every minute, every second, they are not "stationary" pages...so if you pull an "old" version from your "memory" you will get just that, the "old" version. You need to tell your "memory" NOT to do that, to give me the most recent page. I emailed you on how to do that! You can also clear out your cookies by going onto your desktop and going into My Computer. Choose the C: drive..(click twice)..then choose the "WINDOWS" folder...it will give you a warning about modifiying, but don't worry about that...Click "SHOW FILES".... Now find the folder that says cookies and open it....then at the top choose edit then select all. That should highlight everything in that folder. Then go to the file and choose delete. That will empty the stored web pages. It will not take it away from your bookmarks or anything like that. When you enter back into Passions, you will have to go to your profile and re-enter your password and save it again for a year, so you don't need to re-enter it everytime you come back. That should fix your problem, along with what I emailed you. Good luck! |
