Stuck in a Time Warp!

[LrdApoc]

I have also had the problems on my Mac

1)OsX and OS 9.2.2

2)Using IE 5 or Netscape 4.75(yeah I know it's ancient)

3)Office network is fixed IP to gateway.

Do not have this issue with Pc on my desk with same network setup. My guess is a Mac issue so I try not to read enworld on my Mac.

4) Breakfast.. who has time

5)Brush and floss when I get up, regardless of eating habits.

Perhaps we should either put alter the thread name or put out another thread call to all Mac Users of this site, to see if they experience any abnormalities (not suggesting what specifically, but just to see if this is as mac-centric as it seems to be.)

It could well be the Mac version of Internet Explorer - wouldn't be the first time MS has not thoroughly troubleshot a Mac version of their product. (The last version of MS Office comes to mind.)

does this look like the problem you describe?

Yes Henry,

In fact once I set my IE not to cache pages it fixed the problem for me.

I still try not to use my Mac to visit the boards. Unfortunately I do most of my scanning/artwork on the macs so whenever I post to the Art threads I have to muddle through.

I occasionally get this problem, but clicking Forum Jump to the appropriate forum clears it up.

1) Mac os X

2) Internet Explorer 5

3) Home machine, though it's linked to another comp in some networky thingamijigger that uses the phone line.

It looks much like the problem as I experience it, except:

1. I use Netscape, not IE.
2. I have never experienced the problem at any other site, including numerous sites with messageboards.
3. Their suggested fix--using the refresh button--does not work.

I'm currently studying abroad, and float around between three computer labs on the campus. For some reason I can't seem to figure out, only one of them has this problem. All the machines use Windows NT, and the server is IE 6. The lab with this problem is a network-linked one (which is to say, if you go to a website on one computer, then log in on another on the same lab, it still remembers your site history). Luckily, for me, using the refresh buttons works. Note that another network-linked lab doesn't have this problem however.

I'm also experienceing a very similar problem, when using my work computer.

It's Mac OS 9.2
Internet Exploerer 5 Mac Edition
I visit via enworld.cyberstreet.com
My computer is on a University Network

and

My morning breakfast habits are spotty at best

Simpley refreshing the pages doesn't usually work but pressing the alt button while refreshing brings up the most current page. The annoying thing is even when I do bring up the most current page often when I go back to the page(by say, pressing the back button) it's old again.

Well, the people with problems all seem to be using Macs on networks. Not sure if it's the Mac or the network that's causing it, bit since both are present in most cases, I'd guess it's something to do with the way Macs use networks. I'm also fairly convinced it's a problem at the user's end, not the server's end.

Now, of course, we need to figure out how to fix it.

Previously, the time posted for me at EN World was habitually an hour slow (I'm Eastern/GMT minus 5 hours). Now, it's four hours slow.

I have a Compag PC operating on Windows 98
Internet Explorer's most recent version through a company network using Novell on a DSL router
I access enworld.cyberstreet.com
