    About half the time when I finish reading a Hornfans thread and go back to the board on which I found the thread, this PowerBook G4 opens the board up as it appeared hours or days before. This does not happen on the PC at work.

    When I hit the refresh button it comes up current, but this is a little aggravating.

    Does anyone have an idea what causes this or does it happen to anyone else?

    I assume it is something I am doing wrong, but then it doesn't happen all the time.

    What browser are you using?

    I have noticed it too. I know for sure it's on my macbook w/ safari. I can't recall if it's on my G4 or G5 with firefox.

    I've never been sure if it's a server-side caching or if it's the more aggressive caching from Safari.

    It always gets my hopes up; the site will be taking minutes and minutes to load, then I click on a link and it loads immediately (Whoopeee!!!) then I look and see it's a two day old version of the page.

    What is a browser?

    Is Safari a browser? If it is, then that is my browser.

    Yes, Safari is your browser.
    I don't think you're at fault. I think the page should not allow caching since the content is dynamic.

    Probably a behavior of Safari. I primarily use Firefox on a Mac and have never seen it. Download it here.
