The above comes up whenever I click on a thread.

PS I have no idea what the message means or how to do what it says.

 

I had to go on a different computer to see the threads.

Have you tried clearing your cache?

 

Ctrl-F5 I think...

What browser are you using?

 

For Google Chrome:

 

Go to the three-dot menu at the upper-right of Chrome to select Settings > Advanced > Clear browsing data or History > History > Clear browsing data. Or type "chrome://settings/clearBrowserData" in the omnibar without the quotation marks. Any of those options takes you to the dialog box to delete not only the history of your browsing, but also your download history (it won't delete the actual downloaded files), all your cookies, cached images and files (which help load pages faster when you revisit), saved passwords and more. Better yet, you can delete only the info from the last hour, day, week, month, or all of it to "the beginning of time."

 

For Opera:

 

Under the main menu in Opera, in the navigation bar on the left, click the clock icon to enter History. You'll see a Clear browsing data button that offers almost identical settings as Chrome, right down to the "beginning of time" option. (You can also type "opera://settings/clearBrowserData" into the address bar.) It's similar because Opera is built with the engine from the Chromium Project, which also underlies Chrome.

 

For Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer:

 

Go to the three-dot menu in Microsoft Edge and select settings; in the fly-out menu, click the button under Clear browsing data that reads "Choose what to clear." Get rid of browsing history, cookies, cached data, stored form data, saved tabs, media licenses, website permissions, and stored passwords; click Manage Permissions and you can delete things like sites you've given permission to show pop-ups.

You can't delete just one chunk of data from a time period like a day or week, but there is the option to "Always clear this [data] when I close the browser." That ensures you have no browser history stored, as long as you close the browser regularly.

 

For Mozilla Firefox:

 

In the latest version of Firefox go to the hamburger menu and section Options > Privacy & Security. You're instantly in the Content Blocking section; scroll down to get to History. Set Firefox to remember, to never remember, or get some custom settings like remember history, but not cookies, or whatever. This section also has a Clear History button. Click it to pick a time range to clear (1, 2, 4, or 24 hours—or everything), and what data to dump (history, logins, forms/search, cookies, and cache).

I saw this message too at about that time.

 

It went away after a while, I suspect "someone" was adjusting the default forum theme.

Same happened to me too.  It was gone after a few minutes. 

I've been away a few hours and it has stopped. I wish tech people would use understandable English. Not everyone using a computer is a tech expert.

I'm using Edge. I didn't have to do anything in the end, but thanks for the info.
