 | | homepage bringing forth weird results —Shiri Dori
|
| | | 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 (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

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, (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

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 (...) (24 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 (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
