RELOADING OUT OF DATE PAGES



Please contact our Webmaster if you have any queries about these topics

Some of the web pages in the Forresters Beach Probus web site are changed fairly regularly.

It may be when you go to one of our pages that your web browser calls up a copy of the page from the "Temporary Internet Files" that your browser stores on your hard drive. This can be a good thing if you visit a page more than once a day. Loading the page and, maybe, lots of pictures, from your hard drive is a lot faster than re-loading from the internet.

However, if the web site has changed between the first and second viewings then you might be seeing outdated information.

This can most commonly happen for these pages on our web site when viewing them for a second or more time in the one day:-

        Front Page
        Web site updates
        Social Calendar
        Pictures Page

so it would not hurt to do a refresh when viewing these pages.

Refreshing, or reloading, the page can be done by using one of these methods:-

  1. Click the "Refresh" or "Reload" button which looks like this:-
       Refresh IE button In Internet Explorer - top right corner of the page
       Refresh Firefix button In Firefox and Chrome - to the left of the address bar.
       Refresh Safari button In Safari - at the right end of the address bar.

  2. Right click on the web page (but not on a link or a picture) and select:-
                 Refresh (in Internet Explorer)
                 Reload   (In Firefox)

  3. Press the function key  F5

  4. Look at the top of the web page for the line:-

    If this page looks out of date then  Click here to refresh the page

    It is under the heading at the top of the page and the and click on the link. This method can work if the other two fail to reload the page. (This is only shown on the four above mentioned pages as they are the main ones that are regularly updated).
