Forum:I made the mistake of clearing my browser cache...

(doesn't know if this is the right place but hey) Hey everybody, quick question: I use IE6 and it worked 100% until I decided to clear my browser cache yesterday as a YouTube video was playing up. Any ideas on how to fix it (other than being told to use a different browser)? Kilkakon 03:36, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * What exactly is not working with it? ZamorakO_o ( talk ) 03:50, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's a screenshot: [] Before yesterday it looked like it does in FireFox. Kilkakon 04:01, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know you don't want to hear it, but seriously, consider changing browsers. It's much, much easier than trying to fix something to make it work in your browser. Anything - anything newer and greater than IE6 - is good. Just stop using IE6. It's not just Wikia display problems or display problems in general, it's a computer security issue. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious. :P The 888th Avatar   (talk)  07:57, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * That happens to me with Firefox when the cache does whatever it does, and overloads. Sometimes I can see code. -- Bunai82 (talk)


 * Clear cache again. For the record, the screenshot shows wikia without any core css loaded by the browser (this happens when you get a blank css file from wikia aka when wikia has page loading issues or the image server which is used for it is being funky), your browser then cached this copy of the css file (without any core css) so your page had no layout. All you need to do is clear your cache again so that you re-GET the css file, with actual css, thus giving your page some layout. Joey (talk) 09:17, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Tried to re-clear the cache, no effect. The desktop (which used to be okay) now has the same problem which the laptop has (I visited the wikia too late on the lappy). Perhaps it's the detection scripts not working properly or something, or that I had a version of the css that was still good, or something like that. Kilkakon 09:55, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oop, it seems to be half working now! Now my Home page works but the individual card pages (Yugioh wikia) aren't yet. Kilkakon 09:58, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's like every second page. When I edit this thread sometimes it does the dodgy thing and sometimes the right thing! Weird as 09:59, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think that I can call it fixed now. Thanks Joey! Kilkakon 10:02, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
