Hey Giz,
yeah i have that issue too, i have been told that if you go to your tools button in the IE browser, clip on options and click on setting, then change to update page never it will work, also delete cookies and temp internet files.
Hitting back i find will lose them, but if you read one post, then just click on the link you want to go to (rather than hitting back) hopefully it should still be there.
Regarding the time, the main time is set to my zone Australia, buyt there is a section in your profile to change your zone... you can adjust that. let me know how you go
so sorry i am no expert at all this, just an AF sufferer!!
