Help! A computer question.

I have a question for the more tech-savvy DUers.

Recently I have be seeing some errors on certain sites. Not DU but on the sites LJ, IJ, youtube, photobucket. The comments and photos are a goobleygook of code. And when I post a comment on a LJ/YT/IJ thread, I can't see it if it's below comment 6 or 7, comes out like: visjgsi234ijsl. On Photobucket, I can only see the top row of pics in my albums.

What do you suppose is causing this???

Thank you for any replies.

1. Have you done the usual?

Cleared your history, temporary files and cleared your cookies. System scan, reboot...etc?

8. They may want to, but they can't

Those groups are for donors only.
