If you go into the depths of CCleaner you can tell it to leave certain cookies and get rid of others when it cleans. They are useful in that they save you having to log on when you visit favourite sites but it is best to get rid of the others from time to time.

Many thanks Beachy & Ron. Well, deleting the cookies for andalucia.com seems to have done the trick!

Estupendo!!! :D

One little niggle...

Sometimes the ad banner doesn't stay put where it should be and so blocks the links (For example on the board index I can't hit 'view new posts'). Refreshing the page takes care of it, but can it be fixed..... :?

and me,i re clik board index too.
do you think it has something to do with our pop ups?

also,something else that annoys me is when you recieve a pm,when you clik reply,the whole message you have just recieved is re printed on the top of the pm you are just about to send back.so you either have to delete it or re clik the user name and then "pm" Its a real pain

Try Firefox with Adblock and Flashblock. I don't get this problem. I never see any advertisements either.

Is anyone else having problems with the site only displaying blank pages instead of the threads this morning? I can only "get in" via the back door of clicking on a user's name and going to their threads at the mo...

My link to ADC is directly to 'posts since last visit' and the threads work correctly from there but if I click on Board index then click on a thread I get a blank page as you describe.

Help!
what's happening, I can only get on the forum by clicking on the last post by someone.

This is weird because it's logged me on automatically but everytime I try to change a topic the page is blank although it says done at the bottom!
