Double check the address cause there might be something that your brain just doesnt wanna pick up that could be incorrect (happens to me all the time :oops: )

With F5 somtimes it doesn't clear the cache for your browser so you are viewing old crap cached on your computer to make it faster.

CTRL + F5 makes it get all new stuff live off the internet.

But if you only have one finger or simply hate using 2 you can change the browser setting to stop it caching :D

f5 refreshes..
on a pc (for mac it's shitf + f5 I think) ctrl + f5 resets your cache..
so should reload the page, from scratch, again.. not going back to any stored pics or cookies or anything at all.

as for spare time grimace, I think it's the fact that I'm able to use two hands on the keyboard at once, an idea fairly novel to you.. you've always got that other hand firmly clutching your...........









...mouse...

"Cache is a place to store something more or less temporarily. Web pages you’ve visited are stored in your browser’s cache directory on your hard disk . Likewise, ISPs cache web pages which speeds up access times for users, as the page is being read from the cache memory and not downloaded from the actual web site."

hope that helps Grimace..

oh, btw, does your middle name start with a 'J' by any chance Anth?
