Finally getting a chance to catch up on some other threads...


Again, this is something I do all the time, and I've never had it cause a problem.

This does sound like it could be a caching issue, but not with the web page cache in your machine, but with a web page cache somewhere between your computer and BS. See, if someone who shares that cache with you (i.e. your BS traffic both goes through it) has visited BS before you, and were not logged in, they will have 'pre-loaded' the cache with copies of the pages which were served up to someone who wasn't logged in. When you try and visit the page, the cache hands you the copy of the page it already has on hand (which is, of course, not personalized for you).

Here's a thought: do you have the 'proxy' enabled in your brower? If you're using IE, it's under Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Lan Settings.

Another possibility is that to reduce bandwidth needs, either your company, or the ISP, has installed a so-called 'invisible cache' (sometimes called an 'invisible proxy') which does much the same thing as the proxy in the browser, but doesn't need to be configured in each PC. I gather the corporate ones are often integrated into boxes which also do acceptable-use-policy controls, etc.

Course, maybe I'm full of it, but that would be top of my suspect list at the moment.
