If for some reason you don't immediately see a message you had posted on the Board, please don't assume that someone deleted it or there was a malfunction on the Board. The simple truth is that the problem is most likely with AOL.

AOL caches web pages in order to: (1) "speed" up access to frequent web sites, and (2) cut down on costs by saving bandwidth.

Here's a few articles you should read if you're an AOL user:

http://www.internetnews.com/isp-news...6051%2C00.html http://crossstitching.com/AOL4.cfm
http://www.sbcsun.com/aol.htm

Note: There's no easy fix to this problem. Even if you delete all the files from your browser's cache, AOL may still serve up stale pages from it's own cache. If this happens to you, you'll just need to be patient until AOL decides to give you the newest page.
