We are going on a booze cruise. Or your browser has become a bit confused.

One of those two smile

If I type PH.com in my browser (which was saved as a favourite) I now get the image above.

If I type PH.co.uk I get the blue P.

How bizzare.

In simple terms, your computer saves those little pictures to speed up browsing (this is called caching). Sometimes, it gets a bit confused and incorrectly assigns the picture from one site to a different site.

If you clear your cache (where they are all stored) then your computer will go and download the correct version and the problem will be sorted. To do this in Internet Explorer, you go to 'Tools' then 'Deleted browsing history'. Alternatively if you just leave it, it will sort itself out in a few days.

The reason that it is only affecting PH.com and not PH.co.uk is because as far as your computer is concerned they are two completely different sites (which also is why if you are logged in to one, you won't necessarily be logged in to the other)
