when i try to get into site i get, power web site , after several attempts i eventully get in, is any else having problems

yes, my link to the site went about ten days ago. I put out a query through 'Backroads' last night on Nico's thread and was advised to clear out my cache(?). Once done I got access again, so happy days, I'm back again. paulC

Whats a cache............I know its file in system but where exactly??

It's easier to google the question to get a decent answer. My IT experts at home have only confused me with their answers. Basically it appears to be browser history which needs to be cleared out every so often. Go into 'history' and into 'setting' and follow instructions. Anyone else got a more technical reply? paulC

History, ok settings ok, but where ??

The site went down last weekend due to our hosting service not communicating that there was an issue, so I'd no idea there was a problem until the website went down (grrr...)

Anywho, some people have had problems since, best way to fix is to clear your browser cache.
V.briefly, the cache is a copy of the websites you've visited, so when you go to the same address again it throws up the copy from the cache, which makes it look like access is faster. Clearing your cache will get rid of the incorrect copy of the webpage from last weekend.
How? Instructions for most browsers are listed here :
