I relearned something today.
the last few days I was having a problem with this web sight, it was giving me two differant home pages all the time.
when I would open it up it would give me one page, anf if I did a refresh it would give me a differant page.
then I would read a post and click on the back button to go back to the home page and it would come up with the first one I had, then I would have to do a refresh again to get the newest page,
it was a continious cycle and making it difficult to do anything, I thought the problem was with pcmech as the other sights I went to did not seam to have that problem.

I went to my other computer and it worked good on here, so I foung out that the problem was with this on computer and that back button.

I had already deleted the cookies the other day and thought it might be that, but no go still same problem

then I deleted the temperoy internet files and the off line files in the internet options window,
now the problem has been corrected and is now working great again.

thing is, I can't remember ever having to do that before, ever.
just thought I would tell of what was going on, incase anyone else had the same problem.

I've fixed a lot of bizarre problems by simply clearing the cache. I've noticed that Windows defaults to a huge cache size when you install (like 5% of the disk), making it very flaky after it has been in use for a while.
