View Full Version : I can't read this forum normally anymore.

I wasn't sure wether to post this in Tech Help, Misc., or here, but I decided here would be a good place.

Since yesterday evening, I got that weird problem. When I go to the JCF like I normally do, I see there are new posts, but when I click at a subforum it's like yesterday afternoon which means I can't read anything that got in newly. I tried logging out and in, with no results. I can still read and post using the 'New Posts' function, but I don't like doing it that way somehow.

Any suggestions of what I should do?

Last time this happened the CMOS battery of my computer was low, but if that was the case I would already have gotten a message when starting windows I guess.

This thing only happens to VBulletin boards by the way. All other forums I check regularly work fine for me.

Try clearing the web cache for your browser. With Internet Explorer, go Tools > Options > Delete Files. Make sure the "delete offline content" box is ticked and pick OK. It will take a few minutes to delete everything, and should leave your cookies alone.

It seems the problem fixed itself over night, but next time this happens I know what to do. Thanks.

Your cache folder possibly clears itself after every restart your computer makes.

Wouldn't the forum have worked normally yesterday then? Because the first time that occured was the day before yesterday and I didn't have the PC on for the whole night. d=

not nessecarily(sp) it's just one of those quirky web problems it seems to me at least.

It happens to me sometimes too, especially in Firefox which likes to cache everything. It's probably a vBulletin bug, so you might try reporting it to them, or something.
