    Lately, i've found that when entering sites, which i've previously been at, my browser (Microsoft IE), doesn't update the page i'm viewing.
    Example: I click on to notebookreview.com, enter the discussion area, see a "latest post" headline at the hardware forum, click the hardware forum, but the headline isn't present until I click the refresh button. ( all the 'old' post are present though)
    Why the "#¤%"#¤ doesn't IE update the page???

    It's not only notebookreview.com, but also other webpages. It's quite annoying, so please help.
    Thanks...

    Use FireFox. It is a much better browser.

    check your cookies settings. Click on tools-->internet options-->general-->settings under the temporary internet files. I would suggest selecting automatically.

    [edit] LOL, good idea with FF.

    It sounds like you have troubles with your Cache. Have you already cleared it?

    And, please use a better browser like Firefox or Opera. They are more secure and more comfortable.

    Okay, I think I've found the problem. (besides using IE in general). A short while ago, i limited my cache size quite substantially (to something like 330 Mb). I think that might be the problem.

    By the way, I have seen the poll on browsers, and will change to FF as soon as I have time...

    thx for the replies...

    You can solve this problem in one of two ways:
    1. Get rid of IE and use Opera or Firefox.

    2. Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab>scroll down and check "Empty Temporary Internet files when Browser is closed".

    Have fun! ;)
