Both of you need to clear your cache

What's a cache and how do I clear it?

Security. If you get yourself a virus it just gets confused and scared and deletes itself.

Oh viv... that sounds like a joke but you're mr computer dood so maybe you're serious?

I am mister network security and I can vouch for Windows XP's superiority.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DON'T USE XP ANYMORE! IT'S ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF VIRUS SPREAD AND BASICALLY A GUARANTEE TO BECOME PART OF A BOT NET! IN FACT DON'T USE ANYTHING OLDER THAN WINDOWS 10 OR YOUR EQUIVALENT LINUX ANYMORE AND DON'T HAVE A PATCH STATUS OLDER THAN A WEEK! PLEEEEEEEAAAASE! I'M DYING OVER HERE!

Yep, good old trusty XP.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Ah, you certainly seem trustworthy. I liked XP too, I kinda miss it even.

Windows 10 is objectively bad and made for touchscreens though. That's what I've heard so it can't possibly be wrong! Windows 7 for life

Then get your botnetting ass away from me!

Good to know I can keep using Windows 8.1 safely!

Thanks for the suggestion to clear my cache. That fixed it. It still isn't the prettiest of pages but at least it doesn't look broken.

XP is far superior to anything Microsoft has come out with since.

That isn't true. Windows 7 is prettier, faster, can do plenty more stuff, still works with everything today, and prettier.

Can I load it up for free on my 10-15 year old computer?

The ads are just poorly placed. You can click on 'close ad'.

It's not the ads I'm posting about.  It's just that recently there was a thread about the work that had been done to the Hot Topics...and all I see is a wall of terrible text.  I was guessing that it must be my computer since I'm using a dinosaur, but others have the same issue.  Those ads are criminal, though.  

The hot topics text issue is present on my ipad as well. I've had the problem for weeks.

Also, will some of the ads still bother me, they are nowhere near as bad as about a year ago. I think i made a specific thread to complain when they began intruding from every available angle.

See, now you might have a point.

Still, it's like being stuck on a Dreamcast for gaming or something. Get with the times, dude.

I really don't use a PC very often and for what I do it handles it pretty well.  I'd use a PC even less if VGC had an amazing mobile site. 



Switch to Linux, it is: free, fast, light-weight and pretty.
