Include hometown and state. As an example, today I pulled up Channel 4000 and it had the date that I last viewed it. So I clicked onto refresh and voila , Sept. 8. Chuck, You don't have anything screwed up. Your Web browser just isn't tuned for your needs.
Some Web pages take a long time to download.
Your browser thinks it is doing you a favor by remembering pages that you've already seen so you don't have to wait while it downloads them again. The browser stores pages and images that it has recently seen in its cache . Unfortunately, when pages frequently change like they do on news sites, the old version in the browser's cache quickly becomes out of date. The software developers needed to strike a balance between time you save by not having to download the page every time and the accuracy you lose by storing an older version. If the Web site has a newer page, your browser downloads the new version and overwrites the cached page.
