Browsers and Chatterboxes?
Some weirdness I've noticed, but only pinned down recently. If I'm running Phoenix, I see different Chatterbox contents than if I'm running IE. It seems that Phoenix displays older messages (the latest message I see on the front page Chatterbox is from February 13th). Is it possible that the Chatterbox contents come from something that isn't marked as dynamic content, and might thus be cached by a browser? |

Re: Browsers and Chatterboxes?
My guess is that your computer has been turned on continuosly since at least Feb 13. You see, that's I moved the chatterbox server, and re-pointed its DNS. So you're probably one of the very few people who still connect to the old server (which is still active for the time being).
Windows is pretty notorious for caching DNS data until it's restarted, as far as I know. |

Re: Browsers and Chatterboxes?
That could be it - I rarely power-cycle my puter. On the other hand, I was using different browsers on the same hardware simultaneously to nail down the behavior. Maybe Phoenix maintains a local DNS cache? *shrug* |

It's probably more likely that explorer does. Depending on your version of Windows, explorer may run as the same instance that powers your desktop. In that case, you never really quit out of it, even though you may close all the explorer windows. |

Re: Browsers and Chatterboxes?
Actually, I rarely close out Phoenix. There's always one tab or another that I've left open (Mmmmmmm.... tabbed browsing.... *drool*). Besides, Phoenix is the one showing the old messages. |
