Press F5 in Firefox.  For some reason Firefox insists on providing the cached version of the page.

Isn't there an option in FireFox like there is in IE?

"Check for new versions of stored pages" - "Every time I visit the webpage"

I don't think there is such a setting in Firefox. Checked right now and can't find any such settting...
I've never had this issue, but I run Win XP. I recall reading that 64-bit Vista version has cache (and other) issues.

See now for me I get the reverse.

IE loads the Cached version and FireFox loads the newest one

Rolex...

Open Firefox and type about:config in the location bar. Find the setting for browser.cache.check_doc_frequ ency. Right click on this and choose modify from the popup menu. Change the value to 1 and the browser will now check for a new version of the page on every page load.

Drediock...

In IE: Click Tools, select Internet Options. Under Browsing History select Settings. Make sure Every time I visit the webpage is selected.

No joy on all scenarios
pressing F5

I cannot find anything that says anything to the effect of

'Check for new versions of stored pages"

ive cleared private data..

which deletes the cache, cookies... etc etc..

still no bueno.

EDIT: ok, I deleted AH2 from my bookmarks, and then re book marked it.. and now its updated...  go figure..

now if I can only figure out why I dont get topic notifications to my subscribed threads.
