Browser bringing up old deleted files - 8/5/2005 7:52:15   
Another strange problem (must be my day for them). I've made some changes to a page and uploaded it again to the server. The problem I had with the page was still there when I tried viewing it live, so in a moment of inspiration I tried 'view source' and it's bringing up a very old version of the page, so then I tried deleting the file from the server, and now it's definitely not there on the server....but, I tried going to the page live and the old version's still there!

Now usually when I make changes on the server, they take effect almost instantaneously, but for some reason it's still digging up a very old version of that file, despite there being no file with that name there now. I'm confused! Then I thought, well there's obviously a bit of a time lag with my isp, so left it alone for a while.

I'd tried all the obviously stuff like emptying the cache, clearing the history etc. - no effect. So after leaving it for a while and eventually I got the 404 file not found message. Great! The old file's gone! :)

Then, tried uploading the new file again...old page pops back up again, and it's back to square one! Checked the 'view source' and it's still the very old file. Grrrr! :) Am I being too impatient and should I leave it a while and see if my isp just needs time to catch up, or is there something I'm missing here?

Problem solved! T'was me being too impatient. Seems I just needed to wait a while for the isps to catch up. :)

You? impatient? as always....:)

Best thing to do when it comes to that is wait a bit for the ISP & clear your cache:)
