I've put a ?  after the URL now.  It works and refreshes properly without one in IE, but maybe that's different in different browsers.

I've also noticed this website is being slow today.  Infopop aren't the fastest around sometimes - all I can recommend is being patient - I've had some pages that have only displayed after 40 seconds loading, but they've displayed in the end.  Just set your montior to monochrome 320x200 and pretend it's the 1980s and you're about to upload your stunning new game called "Asteroids" over a blazing 2400 baud connection.  smile

now works every first time ...
can you add some "real" querry data?  reload on the game boards itself works, even if the query data is still the same. 
i don't know whether it's a bug in iCab or whether it is allowed to assume that the page did not change in this case.

thanks!

PHP pages themselves may contain continuously-changing data like the current time, so it would be a bug if the browser did not refresh the page, especially with query data (although unless there's some other way to tell it's stayed the same, it should be refreshed even without this).

hi!
you may be right.  but:

nevertheless you actually send a html page.  just that the url ends on .php does not say anything.  it could be static html, just as a page ending on .html could be generated by php.

the query argument: 1) in fact, there is no argument.  iCab is just a little bit too smart for you and, AFAIR, a browser may even asume that repeated queries with the same argument will yield the same result.

but i don't know.  iCab is still under development.  i'll ask the programmers.  in 3 out of 2 cases they say: "we are with the standard". i'll tell you.

... kio !

On this board, the only PHP caching allowed is done by the board software itself, as this is the only reliable way of knowing whether the content has changed or not.  If a browser does any form of caching of dynamic pages, it's likely to get it wrong at some point.  I can of course stick a random query that changes all the time in the query string, but it's not a particularly elegant solution.

hi,

for iCab it would be enough to apend always the same real looking query.  reloading the game boards itself works. 
i agree, it's a pain in the *ss to add stupid extra code everywhere just to circumvent browser flaws...

It now loads with some random query that does not affect the code.
