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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's your browser, John? You're on a Mac?

edit: But what about the Phoenix is discouraging caching, that WX didn't do?

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

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".

I switched to once per session in Mozilla and Netscape, but it didn't change behavior. Where's the cache setting in IE, I couldn't find it?

Okay, I'm to bed. Work on quirk tomorrow.

Am I crazy, or is this thread the only one that Read New doesn't check?

(Note these are not necessarily two mutually-exclusive things.)

Er...Read New checks it fine for me...

Yes'm. It's working; I was just confused.
