Question about the lights

[dananne]

Recently, I've fought with my ISP about several issues, and the end result is that due to the infinite wisdom of my tech support, I managed to remove all web software from my computer and lose my profile. I'm back up, but using a different web browser -- Internet Explorer. However, now all the lightbulbs are on each time I visit the site, so I have a difficult time finding all the posts since my last visit. I'm thinking it has to do with cookies, but I don't know what to do to fix it. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
