Short answer: If the Flash downloader is throwing an error like 2032, we find it's because your browser cache is stale. Flush your browser cache and you should get the latest information from our web site and be able to access the new issue properly.

Long answer: If the Flash downloader keeps throwing an error like a 2032, generally this happens because you have old pages stored in the browser cache memory on your computer.

When you visit web pages, your browser stores a copy of the page locally on your computer in its "cache memory". This speeds up page loading if you visit the site again later.

However, the default time-to-live on your browser cache can be several hours to several weeks (varies depending on a lot of factors), so even though the page has changed, your browser may pull the old page from your local browser cache instead of getting the latest page from our web servers.

If you want to "tell your browser who is boss" and force a page refresh from our servers, this web site tells you how. This site has more detailed information on how browser caching works (if you care) and along the top it lists all the major browsers. Just click the name of the browser you are using to learn how to refresh your browser cache.

Having trouble getting MRH to load on my hard drive, use to work fine till there was a change in your loading. Maybe I am missing something, I am computer stupid and I don't mean maybe. I really do not want to down load each issue every time I want to read it. Thank You in advance for your help.

Having trouble getting MRH to load on my hard drive, use to work fine ...

To be able to help, we need more details.

1. What kind of device? Computer, tablet, phone?
2. What kind of browser?
3. Using wifi or a cellular data connection?
4. Where are you located? Denver is different from South Africa, for instance.
5. What is the specific error you're getting? Describe the failing behavior in some detail.

The more specifics you can give us, the better we will be able to help.

Often, changing the mix on the above list will solve the problem. For example, take #2 - try more than one browser to see if it makes any difference.
