Yeah, definitly cache issue

 

By the way, if you use IE7:

 

Tools -> Internet Options

 

under General, in the History section, there's a Settings... button

 

In there, there's a 'Check if a newer version of a page exists ... ' thing, if you set it to 'Everytime a page loads', you might get less of these kind of issues. If your internet or your computer is slow it might not be a good thing though.

 

PS: These instructions were translated from my french version of Internet Explorer, if anything doesn't exactly match, I don't care.

is there a FF setting for that?

Good observation... Fixing this

 

Don't know if there's a way to avoid this behaviour
