I have a question about this site (or it's possibly my computer) and I don't know if anyone here can help. I get to the roundtable to view all of the topics fine (actually I have it set as my homepage). I click on a topic to view it and then when I click on my back button (to go back to the topics) it goes back to 8/20 04:19 EST(date and time of post). This happens each and every time I try it. I started having this problem yesterday and I thought that maybe it would be better today. Not!! Does anyone know if it would be a setting on my computer, my cookies, my ISP or what it might be? Thanks for the help....

Thats 'cause you have it set as yur home page and when you hit return,or back, it goes back to the defaut or opening page. I say that cause I tried that too and my wife had to resplain that to me and get it into my head that I had to enter the program the normal way. Seems like there should be a way of making a shortcut and I'm working on it and if I get it right, I'll be able to crow about it to the other half. I'll post it if I do or maybe someone on here will beat me to it!! lol I refuse to ask her..its a guy thing I guess...

I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for but this will refresh your page each time you go to it.
If you are using Internet Explorer::: Click onto TOOLS at your top bar, Then INTERNET OPTIONS, Then look at Temperary Internet Files and click SETTINGS, It will say something like---Check for newer version: Then check mark the box that says EACH TIME YOU VISIT THE PAGE.
Like I said this may or may not be what you need but it's a start. Hope it works!

Hi Terry - I just got your email on this problem as well. I've never heard of this happening, but I'm guessing it has something to do with having your browser set to use this page as its homepage. I don't know why it would cache differently though.
There are a couple of different meta tags I can throw in and you can see if that makes a difference.

Doug....That sounds like a good idea. Is it hard to do? I don't know how to do that. If you know how, maybe you could give a quick 'how-to'. Some others may want to know too. Thanks....

Just thought I would add....my 'back' button seems to be working now...but I still like the idea of setting up one of the 'f' keys. Later....
