Huh?

I know when you log out you lose all unread messages, and I know my computer locks up and I have to restart, but I have just lost all my unread messages without logging off or powering down, so now I have no idea what I have read and what I haven't......

And I haven't been anywhere!

that's very strange. Sounds like a cookie issue again!

oh, maybe I shouldn't have eaten them all.

C is for cookie, thats good enough for me......

LOL. Can't say it's ever happened to me though - you didn't intentionally delete any of your cookies or tempoary internet files did you? Or you didn't accidently click 'mark all forums read' ?

nope, nope and nope - I replied to a post, then when I went back to unread messages, there were none there

that's very weird!

annoying, I don't know about weird

It is weird 'coz it shouldn't do that lol

Happened to me this morning but they came back???

Maybe it is a forum glitch then!

my pc has been working slow on the forum..dont know which it is my pc or the forum....sttttrange!

Humm....nobody else has mentioned slowness on the forum Tracy. I'm not having any issues either?

Is it slow to load other websites/applications too?

Mainly just the forum...but thats because ive not been on much else but think it is just running bit slow my pc??...like taking longer to submit my replies, look at pages pics etc. Its a fairly new laptop but they get me stumped.lol!

Have you done a spyware/virus scan lately, to check it is all clear?

Perhaps try rebooting it.

i have an automatic one but shall i set one going again? I am not great with pc but should get is it AVG to do another up to date scan.

Probably OK if the automatic ones have been done and you got the all clear. Try restarting the computer and seeing if that speeds it up!

my oh has just defraged, scanned and did a clean up? Dont know what they all mean but they started making it work faster straight away...sure you know what they are...im just happy to be on the pc..hee hee!!

Probably meant you had something lurking on your PC that shouldn't have been there and now it's been removed, so all good!

a defrag is like sorting and categorising all the crap you got on the pc, hehe.

Think of it this way.
You have a bookcasing almost filled with books. You start out with all the books being in alphabetical order. Then you take one out here and there, but you don't put it back where you took it.. you just shove it in somewhere that's roomie enough for it. As time goes by, you keep taking out books and shoving them back wherever they fit. But you take longer and longer to find the books you're looking for, cause you have to look through so many titles out of order before you find what you need.
Finally you get sick of it, and you pull out a great deal of them, and start to alphabetise them once again - and after that, you find what you're looking for in a heartbeat.
And then it all starts over again ;-)

But that's sorta like what happens on your computer. When you use data, it gets shoved in somewhere, and when you need it again, the computer takes longer and longer to find it, cause the data is spread all over the place. A defrag is tidying up the 'bookcase', so it's nice and easy to find stuff again.

Thanks Lina, i totally get that now. Im not totally 'doh on pc's but not a whizxz either. It sisnt pick up anything in my scan etc and the defrag seemed to just clean it up in order, like you explained.
I have been having trouble with my windows defender though...it doesnt stay on all the time even though we set it to. Its like it turns off when you turn the laptop off.

IT'S JUST BLOODY DONE IT AGAIN!!!

I've had that happen a couple of times to me... then they all came back again....

nope, mine are gone - so no idea what posts are new without looking at the time the last person posted

Apart from new posts since it happened, like this one

all my red ones have gone just this second!!!
