Okay, I know this isn't a huge deal or anything, but something weird just happened when I logged onto the internet.
BTVSfigs and the rest of the proboards forums I go to, Fwoosh, Yahoo, FanForum, eBay, and anywhere else where I'm usually automatically signed in on when I visit, I wasn't signed on anymore. I had all my forum ones signed in as "Forever" so how could I have been signed out? I've never had this happen before, it's a bit weird...
Everything was normal when I was online about 2 hours ago.

Is your PC set to an automatic cookie/Temp Internet file clearout?

My boss and I are both hooked on e-bay, so as long as it doesn't interfere with work, I am allowed to use the computer. She is so cool! And here is the question that will prove what a moron I am re: computers. What are cookies and why/how do you delete them?

And here is the question that will prove what a moron I am re: computers. What are cookies and why/how do you delete them? On IE: Tools > Internet Options > Under Browsing History click "Delete" > Click "Delete Cookies"  Also a good idea to follow the above and delete Temporary Internet files (this can take a fair few minutes depending on when they were last cleared out) and also browsing History if you are at work. Cookies are little packets of info that store data on you making surfing a little bit easier and faster e.g. if you have logged on to the forum and clicked log in forever, the cookie stores your log in name and password. When you delete your cookies all this information is lost. |
