When I click some of my favourites, the favourites do not go to the correct page. The same thing happens if im doing a google search. For example, http://chocoreve.blogspot.com/
This website on any other computer comes to a blog for today, December 9. But on this computer, it goes back to an old page for the November 18 blog. The same thing happens whether I try to get this page from my favourites or from a search engine like google. This also happens with a few other websites. But if i go to a page like CNN, obviously its updated right to Todays date, todays news.

What browser - Opera?

Anyhow, on the affected machine, using the favorite shortcut, go to the webpage & manually navigate to the "December (9) 2006" post and then save it as an updated favorite shortcut for the link.

using Internet Explorer. If i manually navigate to the "Dec 9" link, its an archive page for december and that makes it a different URL that will always redirect to December. The main URL posted above should always be the current one, but it's not.

Internet options > advanced > security > check mark in "Empty Temporary Internet Files When Browser is Closed". This will help IE from caching old pages.
