I just did what you said, however, my problem is different, when I click on brouse on FreeRepublic it keeps going back to 2/22/05, just like Ground Hog Day, I can't get past 2/22/05. Only when I click on home and articles can I get recent info. Jim tried to help me, I spent several hours on the phone with Bellsouth, but I seem to be stuck in 2/22/05? Any ideas?
Go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS and click on "Clear History", then "Delete Files" (check the box too), and lastly "Delete Cookies". Close your browser and open it again. You should be OK after that.
That is really odd.
I'm pretty sure it must be a conflict between FR's code and your browser.
Sorry I can't be more help.
