Dyre's "Front Page Vote Again" Still There

Dyre Straits · Oct 24, 2003, 10:01 AM

Yes, got up this morning and the Front Page Poll is ready for me to vote again.

Damn.

Well, I'l revert the cookie change I made back as it's made no difference and the old way was better anyways

I'm telling you straight Dyre, something is messing with yo cookie's and it ain't DH

I'd be very happy to find out what it is myself. But, I didn't even do a clear cache this time.

The only thing I AM doing is using Ad-Aware and deleting anything is finds as suspect. Could that be it? Is anyone else using Ad-Aware having a similar problem?

Yep same problem here and I run Ad-Aware and SpyBot.

I'll see if I can run Ad-aware at work on my Windows boxen when I get some time.

Home is Linux only - which kinda makes IE/Windows errors hard to fix ...

yep...it would make it hard.....

Dyre Straits · Oct 27, 2003, 10:39 AM

Just an update:

So far, so good. I'm still seeing the Poll Results on the front page. So, Ad-Aware hasn't removed anything related to the poll so far since my last report.

I have Ad-Aware setup to scan each time I reboot the computer. I've done that several times over the weekend and even this morning. AND, I cleared the IE Cache, too.

Stop! Step Away from the cookie jar! Stop! Step Away from the cookie jar! I love those alarmed novelty cookie jars, I think Dyre should get one.

Dyre Straits · Oct 28, 2003, 06:25 PM

Well, with the site being a little 'sluggish' I cleared the IE Cache just now and noticed that I can vote again.

Neon and I must be close cousins.

How do you go about deleteing the cache?

BTW, deleteing the cache normally slows things down instead of speeding things up

Judas · Oct 29, 2003, 08:17 AM

how big is there cache?

I normally just rightclick the IE icon on the Desktop. Select Properties, and then click the Delete Files button. I don't select the Offline Content as I don't use that option anyway.

This may be a silly question, but is the date/time on your PC correct?

Yes, at least in Windows it is.

EDIT: Just booted into the BIOS to check the CMOS clock. It's all correct.

UberLord · Oct 29, 2003, 01:08 PM

OK - don't clear the cache. Seriously, you should only do that if you have problems with IE - and I don't mean slow connections.
