ok, so i tried to upload a new avatar about a week ago, it
wouldnt work so i thought fuck it and left it.
i've just logged in and the avatar has changed to the one i
was trying to upload a week ago???
and also when i go back a page on my browser various pages
from days, even weeks pop up???
any idea why?

etc?

use mozilla firefox if you're not already. internet
explorer is a horrible, bugridden shitty browser, and you're
actually at risk using it (there's a few unfixed patches,
that have been around for months, which allow shit to be
installed on your computer just by going to a website).

Some Web sites store information in a small text file,
called a "cookie," on your hard disk.

Cookies contain information about you and your preferences.
For example, if you inquire about a flight schedule at an
airline's Web site, the site might create a cookie that
contains your itinerary. Or it might only contain a record
of which pages within the site you visited, to help the site
customize the view for you the next time you visit.

Only the information that you provide, or the choices you
make while visiting a Web site, can be stored in a cookie.
For example, the site cannot determine your e-mail name
unless you choose to type it. Allowing a Web site to create
a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the
rest of your computer, and only the site that created the
cookie can read it.

Internet Explorer is set up to allow the creation of
cookies; however, you can specify that you be prompted
before a site puts a cookie on your hard disk, so you can
choose to allow or disallow the cookie; or you can prevent
Internet Explorer from accepting any cookies.

You can specify different settings for different security
zones. For example, you might want to allow Web sites to
create cookies if they are in your Trusted sites or Local
intranet zone, prompt you before creating cookies if they
are in your Internet zone, and never allow cookies if they
are in your Restricted sites zone.

seems safer.

some sites will require you have cookies enabled in order to
view/log into the site so I'd reccomend you leave them on

Just every now and then clear your cookies and temp internet
files, just as basic house keeping

I very rarley clear my cookies unless something goes screwy
with my browsing
