Clear your cache and try again. Failing that go IT Crowd style:

"Have you tried turning it [your computer] off and on again?"

my 'cache'? -_-

and why would i turn my comp off, it stays on for like a week at a time

 

[JaredJames]

Classic fix for most problems is to restart the computer.

Your cache, all the crap downloaded to your computer whilst browsing. Sometimes computers hold old items and use them instead of the new stuff from the server. It supposed to speed up loading times.

My cache clears on restart. Perhaps your problem is that it stays on for so long.

Windows is an OS that requires occasional restarts to keep it running smoothly other wise it can drastically reduce performance.

my 'cache'?

Temporary files folder from what I've read.

I'll assume you know what you're talking about, and restart my computer.

Can't hurt to try.

 

[G037H3]

Didn't work.

Was I banned or something? ;/

 

[JaredJames]

That might be the case. Do you remember being banned previously?

 

[JaredJames]

Have you actually tried clearing the temp files as per previous posts? (I assumed you had)

 

[G037H3]

I haven't been banned previously, and idk how to clear temp files, unless you mean cookies in internet settings.

 

[JaredJames]

Google is the answer my friend. Type: "how to clear [insert browser name here] temp files" into Google.

 

[Evo]

I see that you made it goethe

Chat is open. WIDE open!

 

[JaredJames]

As nice as chat is, it's killing the forums. I can barely access them every sunday when it's active.
