Dingle? Web Dev alert

I don;t know if you changed anything in the scripts, or anything like that,with the launch of the main site, but it seems there is a caching problem again in Netscape. After posting a reply it returns to the page and does not display the new post unless you refresh manually. I have mine set to always take the server copy so its not the settings of Nutscrape as far as I see. (although I guess it could be just fucked )

Anyway do the pages have the 'no cache' meta tag in them? if not, it might be a good idea to add it.

hmmm, i use primarily netscape and havnt noticed it. i didnt change anything regarding the forum with the main page update, although about 3 weeks ago i did add this meta expires tag in hopes that it may help with the IE thing:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">
I doubt that is the problem though. Like i said i use netscape and it works fine for me, so unless others are having the same prob i suspect the problem is on your end. Perhaps reinstall nutscrape?

If the prob continues ill take that meta tag out, but it should definately not cause pages to cache when its whole purpose is to prevent it, then again they are too busy sticking shit in we dont need (or want) to bother with little bugs.

also, quick thought. check your system date, i would guess its not set to before feb '97, but if for some reason it is that would explain this...
