RE: About the new site

The seeing/not seeing thing is, I think, due to the way the site refreshes, and may also have something to do with cacheing on your computer - ie it stores pages and reloads them for speed, rather than pulling them down from the interweb afresh every time.

But thanks for the info, hopefully it'll help JD investigate.

Ive just now been on this thread to post a comment (which was going well until I tried to SAVE the comment)-

http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/speaker-cable-qed-silver-anniversary-xt-or-anniversary-xt-evolution

I think it's a cacheing problem at your end

RE: About the new site

To make your browser – Internet Explorer – reload a page completely rather than relying on its cache, press the f5 key on your keyboard.

To clear the cache,

1 In Internet Explorer...

2 Press the "ALT" button on your keyboard.

3 Click on the "TOOLS" menu.

4 In the drop down menu, locate and click on "Delete Browsing History." This will open another window titled "Delete Browsing History."

5 In the "Delete Browsing History" window, locate and select the "Temporary Internet Files."

6 At the bottom of the "Delete Browsing History" window, locate and click on the "Delete" box.

7 After a short while, depending on how long since the cache was last cleared, the computer will indicate that the files have been deleted. Click on the "Okay" button when you see the "Internet Options" box.

Forum - formatting for subforums (eg Headphones and turntables in hifi) (partly - Shows amalgamated into one forum)
Forum - landing (eg Hi fi) - remove 'updated'
Forum - landing (eg Hi fi) - remove '[##] new' Will not fix (it's actually quite useful)

Glad the online/offline 'blob' became smaller. Can't make it red/green, no?

RE: About the new site

Hi,

At the time of writing, AE is showing as online - the 'blob' is green. All offline users show as grey.

New issue - When I try to reply, I have to resize the text box before I can type.

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.
