Whilst you are setting your cookies, also check to see how your java settings are currently configured. Please compare your settings to thoses shown below.

Cache

Another important setting is the chache. Web browsers "chache" web pages (place a copy on your hard drive for quick reference). You may have seen a message on your browser sometime, stating that the browser was "unable to load the specified page" and is "using a previously chached copy instead". What this means, is that you are "seeing" the web page that is stored on your hard drive and NOT the "web page". This can cause problems when web sites are dynamic (such as the FlyingFish). The solution is to set your browser to compare the two documents every time.

To do this, click on "Edit" then "Preferences" The Preferences menu box will open. Click on "Advanced" in the left hand panel, the "cache". Now select "Every time". Then click OK to exit.
