Forum not working properly on my computer

Nothing changed here.

This is likely caused because your browser history, cache and cookies were deleted.

If you are using IE, I have found that some Microsoft updates seem to wipe out browser history, cache, and/or cookies.

Ah yes...good old "Internet Exploder" updates. 

If you just did an IE "update" (I use the term "update" VERY loosely when it comes to this God-awful browser) that's your problem.

If that's the issue, do yourself a HUGE favor and switch to Firefox. It is a much better web browser...and it's FREE.

That is what happened to me about 8 months ago. Update IE and could not load any photos, or see photos...

I now use firefox....

i have not had any issues either as i use Firefox also!

Can anybody recommend another browser besides Firefox?
I try to use Firefox for one particular application only to keep it isolated.

Google Chrome. It's Great.

Firefox / OGR /Hoop.la work very well together Android KITKAT works well from my LGG2 smartphone as well except sometimes i end up with 2 images of the same thing when posting.

For those of you who like Google Chrome, do you realize the level of privacy you give up by using that browser? Chrome tracks every web page you visit and reports that info back to Google!

There is no way I would ever give up my privacy like that.

I'm one of the few that has had FF and even Chrome crash often.

I liked Chrome a lot.

 Safari for Windows was more stable here

I keep a copy of each just incase IE crashes hard. I can still get online to repair it that way.

This box just likes MS products better.

You should run some update trouble shooters, and manually check that all the recent updates have succeeded too. Some updates can fail, and the system moves on without it.

 Resetting IE might help. Its been my go to for a long time. It remembers my favs and I have got resetting options down to about 20 seconds. 

 I wonder if you could load FF twice and run them separately, with different security protocols without issue? Changing the name and icon you see for desk top would keep them straight.

Poking around the FF site would let you know. If it can be done, someone is doing it.

Another option would be create another user windows id to contain each, if you don't wish to run them at the same time.

Come to think of it, I added Malware bytes a while ago. Could be dumb luck, but I haven't had any of the redirects that used to plague me, or other issues in general in a very long time now. It freed up 10% of disk space and runs cooler now too.

 I had to check the fan to see if it was functioning right 

Those redirects sucked..i think Mozilla took care of that.

I use Google Chrome...  Not anymore

I didn't realize that they got that much info from the user. That stinks.

Goin' back to good ol' FireFox.

MalwareBytes is useful and should be run periodically.  Super Anti-Spyware is another that should be run at least weekly.  If you see the slightest slowing of your computers, run it and be amazed at the amount of spyware, tracking, adware, etc. that nearly every site drops into your computer.
