Off topic- A computer question DELETED

[PovertyRow]

Pros of deleting cookies - basically you start fresh.

 

Cons of deleting cookies - you will have to reneter your name and password on such sites that require one (like here)

 

Thats the short of it.

"deleting cookies" sounds like something an 18-yo tech-geek might do after having one too many shandies at the after-work social hour!!

Then that should do the trick?

Now, when I browse & click "Back" the highlight remains as if I had not clicked on it to begin with.

 

Ahhh - ding ding ding. Well, that is what SHOULD happen as "back" shoukld load from cache. Instead of clicking Back click on the Boards Menu MAIN Index. It is still a click like clicking Back but it will refresh the display for you.

Actually POV......my computer works like he says his used to. I can click on a thread, read it, then simply hit the back button. Then that thread is no longer highlighted as unread for me. It makes it more convenient that way than clicking on "Main Index" and then clicking on the forum you were originally in or having to hit refresh all the time.

 

Mine works this way also bug, EXCEPT when it only takes me a few (45 or less?) seconds to read the thread, then it works like the "problem" he's having. Seems to be related to time for me.

WAIT! Just delete the one called "collectors-society.com".

[BachelorOfComix]

Okay.

[BachelorOfComix]

No luck. I deleted an "administrator.....collectors-society.com" cookie, but no change.

At first I thought checking the internet options to check for a new page on every visit should cause it to refresh the page when you hit the back arrow. But it doesn't. It just fetches it from the cache without resending and refreshing the page.

 

When I navigate back to the CGC list, I usually do it by clicking on the hyperlink at the upper left of the page frame. Example: CGC >> Comics General.

Click on 'Comics General' and it takes you back to the Comics General list AND refreshes the page. If I use the back arrow and I want the page refreshed, I'm just in the habit of hitting the refresh button. It's such a habit I don't really notice how often I do it.

I would much rather have it the way it was before when I could just click "Back" & have it automatically refresh. I've tried everything I can think of plus the suggestions here & nothing works. I guess I'm screwed.

Have ya's tried shutting your computer down and restarting it? When all else fails, dat's always worth a shot.
