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? #62859 - 03/28/02 09:09 PM Re: What's with the EDIT function?   Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,538 tsuwm Carpal Tunnel tsuwm   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,538 this too shall pass >Could it be the browser rather than the server? maybe... but it's more likely to be a function of what's going on with your cache. I see this more often on a busier system. http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd/ #62860 - 03/28/02 09:09 PM .   Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 3,409 Max Quordlepleen Carpal Tunnel Max Quordlepleen   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 3,409 #62861 - 03/29/02 09:44 PM Looney Tunes Wisdom   Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 2,636 consuelo Carpal Tunnel consuelo   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 2,636 Caribbean In the immortal words of the Dark Alien from Duck Rogers in the 21st Century: (As the Dark Alien is trying futilely to program the destruction of Earth) "Drat these computers!

I can find that function without much difficulty on Netscape Navigator but haven't been able to locate it on IE Explorer. #62864 - 03/30/02 10:02 PM Re: What's with the cache?   Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Jackie Jackie   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 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. #62865 - 04/04/02 03:05 AM Re: What's with the cache?   Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 477 hev addict hev   addict Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 477 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.
