Sort of a computer question, sort of BF.Net?

Ok I need a bit of help, and I' m sorry in advance if it's wasting space or just plain ol' stupid.

I just did a poll to see if people wanted a WS thread and according to the amount of views it's had there were like 70 and 16 votes. I left the site and signed out of ez board came back, and there were like 15 less views, and the vote tally came out to 11.

I also asked another question to see if anyone wanted to hit a bar for game one of the WS. I did that on Wednesday after the game. I saw this morning it had about 26 people read it, the number dropped to 12, went up again to 30, and now shows 2.

None of this has happened before which may be why I've noticed it. I'm about as good with computers as I would be at trying to hit against Roger Clemens, so if I could get some help I would appreciate the time and effort. Is it some cookie dealy thing?? Sometimes when I'm on BF.net I see some icon pop up on the bottom of my screen with an eyeball on it. I'm guessing a security deal, but who knows? Like I told you I have no idea what I'm doing with computers.

It's an eyeball with a solid red circle that has a white rectangle in it. ( sort of like a caution sign)

Anyhow I put my cursor over it and it reads "privacy report"

Do I have to go edit the settings to allow BF.Net to drop cookies all over? Is this safe??

What browser are you using? That might help the guys who know about this sort of thing (i.e. probably not me) to diagnose the problem.

Simple answer on this one -- a moderator moved it from Brewerfan Issues to Off-Topic to give it a wider audience. That reset some of the view numbers. Don't give it a second thought -- your computer's fine.

sweet. Like I said, I'm a dolt with computers.
