Stickman Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I generally find True to be ok as an ISP and the transfer speeds I get are consistently the full speeds that I pay for. I do however seem to have another problem, and that is one of True caching content. There are perhaps 20 sites I check out regularly, a dozen or so sites, many are big news site likes The Times, BBC, New Zealand Herald etc as well as a bunch of forums. Over the past week about half of the sites (NOT forums) I visit are showing a cached version from early to mid last week. I cleared out the cache in Firefox and IE, tried restarting the computer etc but it continues to show the cached version. Frustrated, I took out my backup laptop that I have not used for a few months and used that to connect to the internet (this was not part of a network but direct to the internet with the other laptop now turned off and unplugged) and guess what, I STILL get the old cached versions of these pages. This is damned frustrating as I cannot read the news from some major news sources. My guess is that True is caching these pages and has some sort of weird individual cache for users. I cannot imagine that anyone else accessing the net locally through True is also seeing cached versions of these pages. So, my question is, are there any settings I can change in Firefox that forces it to open the latest version of the page direct from the server and not from what I presume is a page on Trueâ??s cache server?

Faustian Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Had this problem with CSLox info before...for a few months! But it seems to have cleared up. I don't know how you can get them to flush their caches....give tech support a call? They maybe unaware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I remember reading somewhere that if you append the problem URL with a question mark and some text, it forces it to call up the newest page. eg www.thai360.com?abc May just be an old wives' tale though since I haven't had that problem to try it out.
