Yeah boss clean out your cookies and temp. internet files. Idk about vista but in xp the easiest way to clean everything at once is to right click on C: Drive in My Computer -> Properties -> Disk Cleanup and have everything you want cleared checked.

vist wont get it all like that.. after you clean the c drive. click the window botton on the bottom left of your screen open it then type TEMP in the search bar. 2 folders should show up.DELETE content of folders. next go to internet options in control pannel click delete browser history.. then delete all,cookies,passwords,phishing data.browsing and fourm data{make sure you know all your passwords for your sites}

This is actually a really weird problem because what ever machine you go on it shouldn't effect the content on the site. This site is really glitchy and not 100% put together well anyways. If you erase the cookies and cache and it doesn't change the problem then there's nothing else you can do.

One thing that could be a problem is that IE7 is configured to run in Protected Mode on Vista. Protected Mode can be configured in Internet Explorer's Internet Options dialog. To configure Protected Mode, click the Security tab, select a Web content zone, and then change the "Enable Protected Mode" check box. By default, Protected Mode is enabled for the Internet, Intranet, and Restricted Sites zones. To verify that Internet Explorer is running in Protected mode, look for the words "Protected Mode: On" next to the Web content zone displayed in Internet Explorer's status bar. Basically, Protected Mode acts as a mini-firewall that could be blocking external messaging.
