Not sure what is going on with my PC at work or at home, but for some reason after ENWorld came back online, It was working fine then yesterday and today I have been having trouble with the main Home page and entering the message board threads, not the boards themselves. When I enter ENWorld thru www.enworld.org, as I 've always done, the main page comes up fine but does not remember my logon name or password anymore even though windows will remember them fine as they come up when to type them in. However once you do type them in it still won't log you on as it states that the "page no longer exists" and you have to refresh from the main home page to get it to log on(seems to remember the user name and password then). As this is not that much of a big deal I ignored it yesterday but Today, it is still the same deal but now I have to Refresh inbetween pages of threads on the message boards and even then sometimes it just refuses to "refresh" and still gives me the same dated pages, not the up to date ones, for instance with todays dates on them etc...I have Windows NT at Work and Windows 98 at home (same probs there too) I have checked and re-checked Internet explorer and settings etc..I have also deleted Cookies and Temp internet files and even cleared the History but still having no luck. There is a work around but it takes forever, you have to log out entirely and then log back in, "Refresh" the main home page to get you logged on then go into the message boards and they will have been updated but then you still have to "refresh" when you enter a thread to see any latest posts, never mind the ones you have posted, I realise they won't come up straight away, I am talking about all of todays posts on a thread or in a forum with todays posts for instance. Hope I have given enough info...for all you Techy Guru's to try and see if I am doing anything wrong or if It's just one of those things....hope to hear from anyone soon...thanks in advance for any advice....bye for now...

Well I am now at home, and I think I have solved my "Refresh" problem for my Home PC. I just messed with the Internet options via Windows 98 and when I re-entered ENWorld, It remembered my user name and password, no problem ! And I was able to access Threads on the message boards with out refreshing. However, I am still having this problem at my work PC so maybe it has something to do with Windows NT. I will just work around it for now but it's funny that it never happend when I first started visiting ENWorld. Oh well, I will pursevere....any other suggestions welcome...cheers

For the Refresh issue, try this:
Tools -> Internet Options -> General (tab) -> Temporary Internet Files (section of tab) -> Settings -> Check for newer versions of stored pages:
Select : Every visit to the page.
Hello, I tried what you suggested and it seems to be working ok now but takes alot longer to load inbetween pages...oh well can't have everything....cheers for the advice....bye for now
