  • Please fix me.

    I don't know why I'm having problems when others seem less or un-affected.In the interests of clarity - the problems started when the site went down and I couldn't access it at all.I have a desktop pc, Windows 10 / Chrome Browser. I'm with Plusnet. It's the same set up I have always used, nothing has changed and all other sites I use are fine, it's only this one that's not.Issues are: When typing anything, the input area changes to a very pale blue/grey 'highlighted' kinda colour. When I input my password, there is nothing in the box but I can log in anyway.I have no formatting. I cannot use paragraphs or spaces. The smilies don't work, nothing happens when I click on them. I'm sure there was something else but it escapes me for now.

      How odd! No idea what your problem might be. Can you check that you are correctly logged in.

        How would I do that? I log out, I log in (with no password showing) and everything is the same.

            I've just cleared the cookies (don't know why I didn't do that first off tbh, I usually always do).

            Anyway, when I logged in again just now, my password was there and I have no blue box anymore. Ohhhh I have smilies back!

            I'm about to post this hoping I have spacing again too.

                    Every couple of weeks or so turn it off completely for a few seconds & then start up from fresh. Some updates (operating system &/or Anti-Virus) NEED a computer restart for them to take effect.

                    Anyhoo glad the cooky thing got you sorted

                          If anyone knows where the cookies are stored I would also go and manually clean out the folder. Many cookies are not set to delete when the browser is terminated - is it still File + Exit ? They do not go if you shut the browser down by the X in the top right.

                          They get put in the folder with an expiry date something like 2 years ahead, so they remian on for the next 2 years at least. What is generally said about cookies is not always the full situation.

                          Analytic cookies are another more detailed matter/problem.
