I lost my set-up preferences for BBC.co.uk (which sport headlines, location etc) and when I've tried to re-do them it keeps crashing.

Tried on Explorer as well (I use Firefox) and the same thing happens.

Before I delete all my cookies - I've tried to delete the BBC ones I can see - and loose my settings for all my other websites has anyone else had any issues?

    Though it hasn't happened recently, I've had the same thing happen to me using FF - but I never found out what the cookie issue was. I've lost count of the number of times I've told them my postcode.

    I also get the occasional lock-out from bikeradar as well - I've removed all the related cookies that I could find but it still happens. My work around is Chrome, which has never ever given me a problem, and it's pretty slim and fast as well.

    Even more bizzare! I've now found that I can select any sport as a headline section other than.......golf. If I pick that it crashes :shock:

    Now I'm waiting for all the anti-golf sentiment to come out but it's one of my loves so I'd really like to have it included.

    HOW wierd.

    I went on earlier, and could only get "Error 404" pages for any news story, and for the past 2/3 days, I have been unable to download anything through the iPlayer. Very annoying

    I just tried picking golf and this made all other sports, TV and radio info, iplayer, etc disappear. Oh yes, and the news, national and local have also disappeared.

    No wait, they've disappeared to the bottom of what's now a very long page. So, to summarise, for anybody reading this:



    NEVER PICK GOLF
