ie not refreshing automatically

Running windows 200 pro, When I go to a web page from "my favorites" I get the site but have to hit refresh to get the newest version of the site. Any hints?

Thanks
Don

 

Hi bake

You didnt mention the version of IE ?
Try deleting cookies or atleast deleting the expired ones
tools internet options [settings] [view files]
cookies are on the top --expirerd colunm over on the right top
R/click delete
and clear the cacth [delete files] mark the popup to delete offline content and use the clear history button.
if still you dont get the latest page go tools internet options ,settings [X[ every visit to the page you might while you're there set the slider to middle of less.

2) Invisible Caching

Dear Fred, I read with interest the piece on web pages not updating due to cache problems on the user's local PC as I had similar problems some months ago.

I suspected a similar problem at the time and did something like what you suggested and was surprised when it didn't fix it. I even went to the length of completely disabling caching and I would still get stale pages.

It turned out the problem was that my (then) cable ISP was using invisible caching servers which intercepted and re-directed all web traffic; these caching servers were not properly updating though. I found the cure was to hold the Ctrl key while clicking the refresh button in my browser, apparently this sends a message to the caching server to refresh the cached copy it has stored.
I've since changed to a decent DSL ISP that doesn't use such under-handed tactics to cut its bandwidth bill; you wouldn't mind so much if the servers they put in place worked properly. :-( ---Mike
