COOLSIS speeds-up by instructing your web browser to store many parts of the site in its local cache (usually on your hard drive), so that they are downloaded only when they expire (usually weekly). Those include previously viewed images, style sheets, JavaScript codes, etc.
Sometimes this may have undesirable—and highly confusing—results, such as a recent COOLSIS release that appears to be ignored by your browser. There may be other abnormalities, such as changes to the site's interface or modified user preferences having no effect on your actual screen.
When you encounter any odd behavior, please try clearing your browser's entire cache first. This will make your browser download everything freshly from our server again. Clearing the cache will also help your browser to perform better and it also gets the latest COOLSIS releases automatically.
Please try this before reporting the problem. If the problem persists, report it at COOLSIS.
