Hey, Ever since last night I've been getting some weird stuff on the lugnet homepage. Sometimes, when I click on the "Home" link from a post, I get the current posts. Then, other times, I get older posts - from last night. These are the same posts (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) What web browser are you using? How are your cache options set? You say it always displays the current posts when you click Refresh/Reload? --Todd (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Sounds like a cacheing problem with your browser-- your browser looks at the url "(URL) and says "Oh! I've been THERE before! I won't waste my user's time by downloading it again (cuz for those people on 14.4 modems, that'd take a while), so (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) MSIE 5. (...) Er... <ignorant dweeb, I am> what's the cache? :-) (...) Yep. Oh, and I figured out WHEN it does that. Sorry, not when I click on "home" but when I click on my browser's "back". I think Dave Eaton just explained how to fix that, (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hmm... after reading this, I *thought* that was the problem. So I turned off the cacheing feature (whatever that is :) ... it still isn't working. Every time I click on my "back" browser button it brings the same old posts. :-/ -Shiri (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Ahh! Well, sadly (or happily perhaps!) you can't fix that. That's actually what the 'back' button is supposed to do... this actually comes in handy at times believe it or not... But if you want to make sure you load the new page, you'll have (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Oh, I know that much! But up till now, the browser would bring forth the latest version that I had refreshed. But now, it keeps refreshing to the same point in time - last night posts. That's pretty annoying. If this continues on, I'll be (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) The nice thing about this setting in NN (4.61 Linux, at least) is that hitting the Back or Forward button doesn't cause an unwanted refetch (wasteful, as well as a terrible thing if you ever have to leave a form momentarily). But if you (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It's reloading the homepage when you return to it via the Back button? That's not good. --Todd (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) That's the *right* behavior -- the Back button should *not* cause a re-load of any web page *ever* unless it's gone from the cache. If browsers refetched things when the Back buttons was pressed -- especially pages with forms and things -- it (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yup! Alt-Left, Ctrl-R under Win32. :-) (...) A server can add expiry and cache pragmas to the outgoing HTTP response, if it wants to expire pages after a certain amount of time. Then, if the browser is set to check the date, it ought to reload (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) That sounds like some kind of weird browser cache bug. What happens when you clear out your cache? (I think this is labeled "Temporary Internet Files" in MSIE...) --Todd (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

So basically, what happened: Click to lugnet - displays lugnet (version A) Click to somehwere else - displays other page Click to lugnet - displays lugnet (version B) Click "Back" twice - displays lugnet (version A) [this sounds like a (...)

(...) No, that's not what I mean. Let me try and restate my sentence: *Every* time I click my back button on my browser, I get the SAME post sequence, even AFTER I've refreshed the homepage few times between one back click to another. The sequence (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
