i keep on having the same problem from time to time, where when i click into the cafe, or into a thread, i only see the posts that existed at a certain time previously.
e.g. everytime i click into the cafe today, it looks exactly as it did at about 2pm. when i click refresh, all the latest threads appear. when i click into a thread, i see posts made up to about 2pm again, and again i have to refresh. exactly the same in my pm box.
now i'm assuming it's a cookie problem, but my firewall and IE options are set to accept cookies, and usually it all works fine, but every so often this little problem crops up. and usually it fixes itself within a day or so. it's just a complete pain . . .
is anyone else seeing this, or have they a possible solution to it?

Sorry Neil mines workin fine ????
We has summat similar mate , but it turned out our firewall was fuckin with settings everytime we rebooted ( you never said if you were rebooting or not) . It was basically telling IE to refuse new cookies .
The best solution would be to seriously hurt Bill Gates , but failing that the previous setting 'auto' sounds like its spot on .

i'm rebooting all the time cos my aol keeps hanging. i've tried changing to auto, no joy. i'll fiddle with me aol and firewall abit. just wierd how it's so intermittent. cheers tho i'll take a look!

Just a quick one , if your aol keeps hanging . You dont happen to be running Windows XP and you havent just downloaded the latest poxy update have you ??

Another thought based on an ISP I used in the past. It could be a proxy server storing pages. They do that sometimes to reduce bandwidth from the ISP to the Internet backbone. Check:
Tools
Internet Options
Connections
Settings
If the "use proxy server for this ...." is checked then that means you're using one. If it is caching pages then you'll have to refresh with Control & F5 (or Control & Refresh) to get an updated page.
