What might cause my display to change from the last time I was on the website or in the web application?

Cache and cookies are bits of information collected and stored on your computer from webpages and web applications.  This helps your computer run faster on subsequent visits.  Over time these pieces of information can be changed or updated within the webpage or application.  This can happen when a web application is upgraded or patched.  Sometimes the locally stored cache or cookie information stored on the computer can conflict with the updated information causing unpredictable display issues.
