Since yesterday, I've had a real problem with the RCNT site, after it had the server problem. I don't know if it's related.
I have to refresh EVERY single page to mark threads as read, or to see them highlighted as unread. If I post, and click 'back', I have to hit Refresh to show my post. I hit back again, to that thread page, and have to Refresh again to show that I've added to it.
I hit back again, then have to refresh the main forum page to show that I've added to it.
Same thing when I read a post. After reading it, I also have to hit 'Mark page as read', then refresh each page including the main page.
I have deleted cookies and temporary internet files, both through the Tools, Internet options menu and through Windows Explorer. Each method shows me a blank page after deleting files, but when I go back in, the temporary internet files are still there. The cookies delete, but temp files keep coming back.
I think the 'Refresh' problem is somehow related to yesterday's server issue and even WoodiE suggested I delete cookies and temp files. I've done this over a half dozen times, and can not correct the problem.
Last night I even ran Roxio GoBack, to revert the computer to more than 12 hours prior to the server issue, and still nothing has changed.
Why won't my temp files delete? I've never run into this before.

Here's an update:
I ran Roxio GoBack again. This time I went back 5 days, just after the point when I last ran a full virus scan.
I knew the old cookies would come back, so I went back again and deleted cookies and temporary internet files. This time, instead of instantly giving me a blank page, I saw the progress bar as they were being moved into the recycle bin. That, now, seemed like everything was normal again.
I emptied the Norton recycle bin, then rebooted.
I opened this site again, and still had the 'refresh' problem.
I checked, and all the temporary internet files were still in the folder. AGAIN.
I'm at my wit's end with this.
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of a computer wizard to offer a solution.

Here's the next update, several hours later. I've done things and gotten on and off this site a couple of dozen times to see if I got it corrected. No change. I did figure out why temp internet files were not deleting. I had to check "off line content". Finally they were deleted and didn't return.
So, we're still dealing with the 'refresh' issue.
