ARG! This is bloody annoying.

Lately when I have been doing web design on a new site, when i update a picture or web page, the browser (firefox) refuses to show the new version, and instead shows the cached one. I have to resort to clearing the entire cache manually, then reloading the page, before it shows the new version. And its not just with my site. A friend updated one of his pages and for several days it showed the old version, until I finally cleared the cache.

This a ridiculous functionality disorder, and I definately should not have to clear the cache manually. What is causing this? Is there any way to make the browser more sensitive to changed content, or is the problem more complex?

I don't have a problem with that anymore, used to have problems with it but have found hitting control F5 usually works. Sometimes it can be an ISP related problem if they do heaviny proxing caching themselves.

ctrl-shift-r
reloads skipping cache


Read the fried manual! =P

(I think it is also ctrl-f5)


you can also get the mouse gestures extension and use that. UpDownUp


EDIT:
1 more post till 2000! I'm not going to waste it!!!!!!!!!


EDIT2: I also think there is a meta tag that says "DONT SAVE ME TO CACHE!!!!!!!!!"
