Whenever I go to 'active topics' lately it always starts out giving me from 11 October 2007 at 20:08 which is also the date and time it tells me I last visited.
 
If I used the drop-down list to change the start date, that works, but if the result is more than one page long, and I click on 'next page', it goes back to 11 October etc again.
 
I have cookies enabled, and I'm automatically logged in when I come to the site.
 
Is it just me? Is my best friend not telling me something?

Hmmm...  the date for your last visit is not stored in your cookies, but in the database, whereas your automatic log in is stored with the cookies.
 
Let me suggest this - close all browser windows, open a new browser (not on AE), delete temp files and cookies.
This will force you to login manually when you access AE again, and the database should be updated.
 
I normally delete temp. files and cookies at least once a day - often more frequent.

The deletion seems to have worked. before that the situation got worse because I couldn't post to the site at all, even as a guest.
 
Thanks very much.

PS I think actually the problem arises when the number of files in the temporary internet files folder gets too big. I noticed that while I was having the problem I couldn't display the contents of the folder.
 
A similar situation arises when the number of fonts in the font folder gets to be too big: the font-handling goes all screwy.

Indeed - and when/if you have heaps of temp. files they actually slow things down instead of (as originally intended) speeding things up.
 
My suggestion is to let Windows delete them automatically when you close the browser. (You can find this option in the Settings under the tab, Advanced, near the bottom)
