It redraws the page when I go back. When I posted number 145, the only other post on the page was number 144. I posted, then went back, and both posts were now on the page.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Empty. And it reloads the page, so I can see all the posts. It's set to automatically check pages. But there's nothing in the headers telling the page to refresh.

Were you using Netscape first, DX? What browser are you using, John?

Test.
[edit: when I went back, I got the same quote and my test in the box]

I was using Mozilla 1.1 first. The quote changes when I go back and forward, too.

Caching can be controlled by
- your browser
- your proxy
- your network
- your ISP
and all kinds of stuff as well as the server.
ISPs in Australia are big on caching as you might expect.

What's your browser, John? You're on a Mac?
edit: But what about the Phoenix is discouraging caching, that WX didn't do?

Just tried Netscape 4.78, and it does the same thing. So for me, it happens in all three browsers on the PC. I don't have Opera to try.

IE5 on a Mac, and the cache setting is "refresh once per session" as opposed to "always" or "never".
