Hi Annie,
Did you try deleting your cookies? Did it fix the problem?
Having corrupt cookies doesn't necessarily mean that the site regards you as a stranger. It more like being mis-remembered than being forgotten. Individual cookies may be unreadable, or readable but wrong.
As to whether cookies could affect your display style, I don't know. I don't know exactly what information they store, since it's in code. I could try to find out, I guess, but it might just be easier to delete your cookies and see if that works. There is is a Sphere cookie called 'style' which in my case is set to 'null'. Whether that's display style or not, I don't know.
-Matt
