LEARN HOW TO CLEAR YOUR CACHE

Does the site history page state that they are new photos on the site, but you cannot see them, or is the site not responding as it should?  Sometimes when multiple updates are made to the site, it may appear to be partially offline, so try clearing your Temporary Internet Files Folder.

Often referred to as the cache, the Temporary Internet Files folder contains a kind of travel record of the items you have seen, heard, or downloaded from the Web, including images, sounds, Web pages, even. Typically these items are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. 

Storing these files in your cache can make browsing the Web faster because it usually takes your computer less time to display a Web page when it can call up some of the page's elements or even the entire page from your local Temporary Internet Files folder.  However, the problem with this is that Web pages that are frequently updated will not display correctly, due to your computer using a 'pre-recorded' version of the page.

Clearing Your Browser's Cache:

  • On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options. The Internet Options box should open to the General tab.
     
  • On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete Files button. This will delete all the files that are currently stored in your cache.
     
  • Click OK, and then click OK again.
You can adjust your Internet Explorer settings to automatically clear the cache whenever you close   Internet Explorer. Go to the Tools menu, and click Internet Options.

Click the Advanced tab. In the Settings box, scroll down to the section labelled Security and click to check the box next to the Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed option. Click OK to finish. This option does not delete cookies, but it will clear your cache of other files when you close your browser.
