Explorer Cookie problem If you find that Internet Explorer is getting confused about which is your selected
station, turn off caching by going to
Tools / Internet Options/ General / Temporary Internet Files / Settings /
and "Check for newer versions of stored files" Every visit to the page
Explorer Menu problem If you find that Internet Explorer is not responding to the one of the menu items,
select another menu item, any one will do, then click on the item you want. This usually comes about when people use
the back arrow to get back to select another station, if you don't use the back arrow, you will probably have no
problem.
