does your website have it's own cache that needs clearing?

thanks - no proxy - could this possibly be a VM cache prob??

i've cleared my cache & temps a dozen times on both IE & Firefox.

Have you tried doing a ctrl + F5 refresh, that should(but not always) force the proxy to get a fresh version direct from source.

Click the connection link at the top of the page and post what that gives, obviously censor any information that might identify you.

hi,
problem resolved - looks like it 'probably' was an issue with the VM cache server?? - thanks for your input.

Virgin Media don't use cache any more...unless you've manually set one up (that's why people were asking for your connection settings).

I regularly update a website for a client, and while I can always see the newly updated site, he often doesn't. Everything mentioned in this thread I had him try, and his not of the tech savvy for setting up his own caching proxy. He's on Virgin, what do you think it could be?
