[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 538644, member: 5265"] [b]New workaround![/b] I've found a new workaround that seems to be much more reliable than the old workarounds--but at a price. I've set my browser's cache space to 0, and set it to check the cache against the server page every time I visit the page. (In Netscape 6.1: Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Cache; set disk cache to 0, set "Compare the page in the cache to the page on the network:" to "Every time I view the page.") Oh, yeah, I also purged the disk cache. (There's a button for that in the cache preferences.) I now see the most current version of the page every time I visit. Woo-hoo! However, it drags my surfing time to a crawl--fully loading the d20 System & OGL games forum, for example, takes around 40 seconds. Every time.
