question re browsers and the blog

[Rigorous Intuition]

I received an email tonight with this comment:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>I use Netscape as my browser and can't get anything later than the Jan. 26 post. When I go to Explorer your latest post<br>comes up.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Anyone know why that might happen? Anyone else using Netscape and finding a similar problem?<br> <p></p><i></i>

I use Firefox and I sometimes have to hit reload to see the current version. I assume this has to do with caching, but I don't know for sure -- and it can be flukey. For example, when I went to the blog just now, the latest posting was showing that it had 16 comments. But when I went to the comments page, that was showing only 11 comments -- until I reloaded it, and then it also showed 16.<br><br>So it isn't necessarily a Netscape/IE difference for the person who sent you the email. It could just be that they hadn't used IE recently enough to have a cached version. <p></p><i></i>

Jeff,<br><br>In Firefox, I can see the last post in one of the archive sections was today, but clicking into the section shows me the last post as Jan 27th. It's like a two week delay. Open Data is fine though.<br><br>ETA- I realize this is in reference to the Forum and not the blog. Is it just me? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=cosmiccowbell>Cosmic Cowbell</A> at: 2/10/06 1:06 am<br></i>

[hmm]

using firefox and have had the same intermittantly since the new year..clearing my cache helps,so at a guess either blogger has changed their site and made a mistake with some html tags that cause problems for non-IE users or the latest firefox update has a bug that causes this behaviour.<br>as far as i know netscape and firefox use pretty much the same code for their browsers.<br>The forum seems free of problems at the moment,i only see this on the blog.. <p></p><i></i>
