When/how often should I delete my temporary internet files? I was reading the FAQ's on one contest that those files could be why I am unable to play the game on site. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was unable to lacate this question in the forum.
 
I call them temp files:

troubleshooting tips:

Clear all temp files & cookies

Reboot & retry

Try a different Browser - IE, FF, and for the real PITAS, Google Chrome

Try a different computer

If none of these work? It's possible you have a conflict with a program - did you recently add or update?

I clear them after I sweep. :wave:
 
It depends if you're getting an error playing. Temp files should be deleted every 6 months or so. But only delete them if you run into problems.

If I were you, I'd Google "Flash Cookies". You'll be amazed and probably angered by what you read. You can download a "Flash Cookie Cleaner" through cnet.com - it's one of my favorite websites.

Both my wife and I use the "Flash Cookie Cleaner" several times daily. Our web browsing is rather innocuous. Still, we don't appreciate Corporations tracking our web browsing.

Additionally, we use the tools option to delete Temporary Internet Files, HTTP Cookies and History several times daily.

I googled flash cookie lawsuits, and copied this from one news article - " When an internet user deletes his or her cookies, it's often to inhibit online tracking. But some services-including, allegedly, interclick-use so-called “Flash cookies” to re-spawn the HTTP cookie. That is, they take data stored by Adobe’s Flash player and use it to slip a cookie back into the same computer that the user just deleted it from."
