Firefox? Tools | Options | Privacy
In the private setting section, hit the Settings button. Check off cache and cookies. Execute.
EDIT: I was too slow .. but maybe this will help someone else.
Good on ya mate!

i would like to ask this tho...why would Stardock release WC2007 while it wasnt fully functionable? I mean what if Vista was released and they said sorry we havent worked out all the bugs and not all the features are implemented yet? Now granted you would have paid a heck of a lot more for Vista but nonetheless it just seems a little premature to be releasing WC2007

The following is my opinion only and does not reflect Stardock or WC. So there!
The features in WC2k7 are complete; it does what it needs to do better than the old site.
There are other features of the old site that were not implemented on the new because they were deemed less important.
I would imagine that there is enough backend data being looked at to determine what most of the users were doing along with user feedback so that the new features were the best to implement early.
Remember, we, the vocal minority, are the minority here. We're just the loudest folks around.
I've been testing this site for what feels like eons and some of the "no brainer" comments here leave me slapping my head going "Why didn't I report that?" The fact is that I didn't notice because that's not the way I use WC.
The open beta has been going on for a month or longer . . yet there is a bunch of great feedback only today.
I'm gonna chill, report what I see and think and feel (all potentially different) and see what darkstar, t-man, andrew, and (my favorite) Nickie can do. In the meantime . . . this site *does* rock.

..can anybody please tell me how to find out now if someone made a comment on any of my skins!!???'
i may be wrong but i think your referring to clicking on your name, and then on 'my skins' or 'user's skins'. If so, its still there i just found it myself. Just below the black toolbar at the top that contains "Home, Gallery, Articles," etc. theres a light purplish bar with skinny dark blue text containing other selection options, it kind of goes unnoticed as it doesn't stand out at all , well, while in any gallery, on this light purple bar (at the top & to the far right) you'll see light blue text "My: Site Skins Whatchlist Settings" if you select skins it should take you to the area i think your referring to.
ps. all the text in that entire bar are selectable. It wouldn't hurt to make that area stand out a bit more. Hope this helps.

The galleries seem to be geared more toward advertising, with 6 adds per page, thats ok by me, Except that they have taken the spot/ replaced the top 5 "Top Authors" and also top 5 Most popular skins' in that gallery. I don't think this will encourage new skinners, Kind of creating there own agenda there.
Issues
When i select many users names it takes me to their work, when i click a users 'Resent Skins' i get a win customize error so you can only view their last 12 items.
No matter which icon i click on the users # downloads for the day on a submission(i.e. a widget, object, icon etc.) its always giving me Cyberskin by adni18 with some crazy # of downloads.
i imagine these bugs are being worked on.
If i rated the site like stardock rates my work it would receive 1.5 Stars out of 5. When it probably deserves like 3.8 out of 5
