Refreshing / caching problems in IE

[kentishFledgling]

I've recently upgraded to a new PC, which is pretty much perfect except one little issue.....

In IE, there seems to be an issue with refreshing pages, so much so that it won't really! If you refresh a page, it simply reloads the cached version. This is very annoying, as I'm a web designer and programmer and so I'm constantly wanting to refresh pages.

I've looked at the settings, and I think there how they should be - IE is set to check for a new version of a page on every visit to that page, but it doesn't!

I DO want caching turned on, but if it means turning it off to solve this problem, so be it.

Any help appreciated.

That's all the REFRESH is supposed to do. The "Check for new version" option actually reads "Check for newer version of stored pages, meaning that it will check for new versions of pages you've stored in your favorites file. For better performance, this option should never be selected.

About the only way to accomplish what you want is to empty your disk cache and set your temporary internet storage to 1mb.

You might also want to look at another browser like Netscape or Mozilla. They don't seem to have the problems you're experiencing.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Hold down the control key when you refresh.
