#62858 - 03/28/02 03:48 PM What's with the EDIT function?
WhitmanO'Neill Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/13/01 Posts: 4189 Loc: Rio Grande, Cape May County, N...	Several times this week my edit copy has been deleted when I back-buttoned to it in the reply or new-post mode. So I had to continue my post, and edit out the mistakes (or edit in urls) while people were reading it. This has never happened to me here before. Anybody else having this problem? And while were at it, I'm encountering a lot of strange glitches here using Internet Explorer lately...but on Netscape everything is fine. I'm experiencing this Edit glitch on Explorer right now. Could it be the browser rather than the server?

wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/06/01 Posts: 3790 Loc: Worcester, MA	And come to think of it, just how _does_ one clear the cache on IE ? I can find that function without much difficulty on Netscape Navigator but haven't been able to locate it on IE Explorer.

Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11580 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	how _does_ one clear the cache on IE Start; Programs; Accessories; System Tools; Disk Cleanup. Check with an expert before believing, though--tsuwm knows for sure.

hev addict Registered: 01/28/02 Posts: 477 Loc: Sydney, Australia	how _does_ one clear the cache on IE Apologies if I'm way too late on this one, but I figured this post needed to move up the chain a little. In IE (I'm on 5.5 but should be the same/similar for most) go to Tools\Internet Options. On the first tab "General" about half way down the dialogue box is a section called Temporary Internet Files. You can delete files there. It's clunky though - a kind of "all or nothing" approach. You can't really select which files to delete, although you do have an option to leave "offline" files alone. HTH (albeit way too late) Hev
