Why can I not see a particular cottage on HomeAway in regular mode but I can from a private window?
I found a cottage on HomeAway last year and stayed there. Then suddenly I could no longer find it from my computer, it was as if it didn't exist on the site. But others can see it from their computers, and I can see it if I open a private window. I have no problem searching for other properties. I wondered if I had inadvertently blocked that particular one but can't find anything. I wondered if the owner had inadvertently blocked me but she didn't know how to check. Any ideas? Thanks.

I still don't really know the cause of the problem but what I did was search through my browser history to the address before I had the problem (sometimes it pays not to clear history!) and I opened the site from there. Now it does show when I open HomeAway. But if I search for the actual name of the cottage, HomeAway doesn't show it, but if I search for cottages in that area it is listed. I have given up trying to find the problem as I now have a work-around. Thanks for the suggestions.
