Windows Vista + FLB Forum

[vegaheart 0]

Recently bought a new computer with Windows Vista. I notice now that when I log in to Pattaya Talk, it loads the forum as it was when I last logged out. I have to refresh the page to see if for example there have been any replies to my trip report. If I then click on my trip report, it again loads the page from when I last logged out, and again I have to refresh the page. Also, when I click logout, it loads the members only page again, so obviously I am not logged out at all. I have noticed the same thing happens with my Flickr account also. Anyone else have this problem? How can I resolve it?

It's not Vista per se. It's your browser, probably, which is set up differently on your new computer. You can always refresh your browser by pressing Ctrl-F5 together.

 

I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer, the Microsoft browser, and haven't installed any others. First of all, click on Tools, Options, Delete. That will get rid of the old forum crap on your computer which your browser (probably) is reading instead of coming to the website.

 

The easiest way around the problem is to tell the browser to get rid of your "cache" every time it quits, automagically.

 

Click on Tools, Internet Options, then the Advanced, tab.

There is an option there you can click on called

 

Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed

 

After you do that, you'll have to restart the browser for this fix to take.

 

Hope this helps.

The same happens to me using Opera but that's just the way I have it set up. It's not really a major problem to refresh the page(s).

In Opera go to Tools, Preferences, Advanced, History, and set it to empty the cache on exit, "empty on exit." I believe the default is to update pages every 5 hours.

You can also go to Tools, Delete Private Data, Details, and setup how you want to delete data manually.

Simply clicking on the "reload" icon will refresh the page you are looking at and I think that same function in Internet Exploiter is called, Refresh.

Hitting the F5 button also has the same effect. It's not a hassle for me to do this and is perhaps quicker than re-opening the site from scratch.

 

Still useful to know though for those who do find it irritating.

Hi Vegaheart

 

I am using Vista, and PattayaTalk is exactly the same as on my old XP.
