we have a problem where for a given ISP, IE won't cache even a little. So it's not a middle man thing,

Yeah I guess I'm more used to the opposite problem of people writing to complain that we haven't updated pages since last week, and having to write back and say "hit reload, you goose!". Only not the goose part.

I mean you can see how someone could make that mistake, but are you really going to argue for "sir"?

Check above -- I haven't asked for anything but a cite. Common sense is fine, but nowhere near as good as a cite.

#
# Table structure for table `episodes`
#

CREATE TABLE episodes (
season int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
episode int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
airdate date default NULL,
ep_title varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
show_name char(1) NOT NULL default ''
) TYPE=MyISAM;
# --------------------------------------------------------

#
# Table structure for table `quotes`
#

CREATE TABLE quotes (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
charactername varchar(50) default NULL,
season int(11) default NULL,
episode int(11) default NULL,
is_approved char(1) default 'N',
quotation text,
show_name char(1) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FULLTEXT KEY quotation (quotation)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

Oh, and the caching thing should be fixed.

There's something weird going on. My message center keeps showing me 4 new messages in Spike's Bitches, but when I click on it it's the same 4 messages I just read. Hitting reload on the message center doesn't fix it. When I go to the Buffista's home page, it shows one new message in that thread, but when I click on it it's a message I've already read.

Yup, same problem for me.

Oh, and the caching thing should be fixed.

"Cache-control: cache", by any chance, or was it "Cache-control: no-cache"?

So... The message center is no longer dynamic...

I'm having a similiar problem as Hil, only I had 2 new messages in Bitches so that's what keeps showing up.

In order to get the page to refresh, I'm having to force a refresh (ctrl+f5, IEistas.)

Check above -- I haven't asked for anything but a cite.

Sorry if I was rude. I just thought everyone would look at it and go "of course that's wrong" -- I honestly never thought anyone would think it was anything other than an error.

OK the transcript says "sir" but the shooting script says:

XANDER
But gee, Mr. White, if Clark and Lois 
get all the big stories I'll never be a 
real reporter.
(off his look)
Jimmy Olsen jokes are pretty much 
gonna be lost on you.

Also, when I click on Buffistas Home instead of Message Center I get the same problem. I see 5 new Messages in Natter and Bitches but they are the same 5 messages I've just read.
