In regards to the cache, doesn't going to Internet Options on IE and clearing Temp Files, Cookies, History, etc. clear the cache as well? Also in regards to UK servers: I live in Texas. Is it even possible I'd be connected to a UK server? The UK server deal makes sense though.

I love the late 70's especially the punk and post-punk scenes which revitalised music entirely. I prefer the post-punk vein more than any other veins (although I'm in love with Dire Straits), but that's my opinion. Just drop us the name of the band and why you love them so much. I have two honestly who were both far ahead of their time. Joy Division. Why? You just listen to that band and they're just so intense. There's emotion in not only Ian Curtis' voice but also in the music as well. Alot of people will go and point out "Ian Curtis sounds like a [cabbage] singer." That may be true, it may be not. But you can't deny Curtis one thing. His voice and lyrics were him. He wasn't a poser. He gave himself away during shows and in the writing process. You can't help but feel in awe of Peter Hook's bass (personally I believe he was a pioneer in making bass an important instrument that was part of the collective sound in music instead of some monotonous support system for the drums). Then of course there's that drumming from Stephen Morris. He wasn't a flashy or showy drummer but he was one of the greatest precision drummers of all time I think. And don't forget Bernard Sumner. Inventive guitar riffs with not very typical playing. I sometimes wonder if they'd have been all big and huge or if they would have been a typical post punk band. Changing into new wave or sticking to their sound. Either way fading from memory. I find it incredibly depressing that Ian Curtis committed suicide but maybe he saved their music from becoming irrelevant. We'll never know. Reccomended Joy Division songs: Disorder, Insight, Dead Souls, 24 Hours, These Days, A Means to an End Gang of Four. Why? The guitar. You could have a [cabbage] bassist, drummer, and vocalist and Andy Gill's guitar would have annihilated still. Thankfully, there is nothing [cabbage]ty in Gang of Four's first two albums which are arguably their best. The vocals of Jon King perfectly sneer about the shortcomings of society, the bass and drums make an excellent infrastructure to support the sound, but Andy Gill's guitar is the true shining aspect of their music. Gill was ahead of his time as was the whole music of the band. You think to yourself "Man, this guy could have been born today and his guitar playing would still be groundbreaking." He doesn't play the guitar really. The guitar is just an extension of himself. Even his purposefully dissonant riffs and solos are strangely awesome sounding. In short though, this band is one of the few bands that was completely in sync and just groundbreaking with their first album. In terms of everyday listening, one of my favorite bands of all time. Reccomended Gang of Four songs: 5-45, Natural's Not In It, Damaged Goods, I Found That Essence Rare, He'd Send in the Army, At Home He's A Tourist

Well I got back from my grocery shopping (love my food choices, went a little overboard and unhealthy, but what is life without a splurge here and there?? Plus I have an abnormally high metabolism for a woman so it never affects me at this point in my life. But I digress!) and tried to go to the Runescape homepage. I typed in what I am used to typing in for the last who knows how many years (6 and a half actually). It didn't load after 5 minutes. I closed the internet, wiped the browsing history and files and all that schmazz. Still took ages. Closed the internet, typed it in again. Nothing. I tried it one more time before turning off the computer to restart it and try again. This time, it took 10 minutes to load. Now I'm a forums girl. I'm the fourth highest ranked person in my Runescape forums based clan. So naturally I have to keep the thread open at all times. Well I clicked on "Forums" under the "community" tab on the homepage. That was 15 minutes ago and I still am waiting. I'm terrified for what happens when I try to log in to the forums let alone the game. Will I die of old age? Colorfully sarcastic humour aside, has anyone else been having this problem today? No one tell me it's my computer or my connection as I can load everything else at a normal speed. My computer is a Sony Vaio which I just got brand new not even a month ago and the Runescape site in whole was working quite well until the idiocy that was everyone rushing to the forums to say "Jagex fix0rsz teh cirvurr 3rr0rz pl0xx! W3 R Stup1d and don't realize you're already doing it and by whining like 3 year old kids in the back seat "ARE WE THERE YET?" will solve nothing and make forums impossible to use for patient, mature people like Taverson." (Sarcastic 1337speak is too painful after about ten words of it) I'm sorry if this reads like a rant, but I have a dry and abrasive sense of sarcastic humor not to mention I'm a tad upset at my not being to have an easy process to logging in, checking RS forums, and playing the game like I did a few days ago. IF I didn't have my cherry flavored carbonated water, I'd probably go rage and get a bunch of tattoos. OH wait.. that's anger at parents. Not anger at unexplainable slowness. Your ability to last this far through the topic is very much appreciated. Especially if you comment to give me feedback on if you're having the same problem. And especially if you help me fix this or if you let me know it's a Jagex server problem and that Jagex is trying to fix it. Thanks. :D UPDATE: Able to get to the log in applet for forums, but still not able to get to actual forums yet. In fact it's still loading the "You have logged in successfully" message. UPDATE2: Able to finally log in. Went back to trying to get to forums, took 5 seconds. I'll keep updating as I go along. UPDATE3: Now forums are working relatively fine. About to try to log in game. UPDATE4: Logged in rather quickly. Makes no sense..
