AOL Problem - Pages appear to be out of date
Several AOL users have reported problems of pages showing up in their browsers that were old or out of date. This is most likely due to cache settings in AOL. A cache is supposed to store graphics and pages from web sites on your computer to speed up load times. It is also supposed to check for newer files on the server when you request a page and replace the older cached version with the updated version. AOL’s browser does not seem to make this comparison properly and that is why many of our AOL visitors are seeing outdated pages.
Option 1:
While looking at the desired page, type Ctrl + F5 to reload the page.
(hold down the Ctrl key and then press F5)
Option 2:

- Click ok. Click ok. Exit out of the preferences window.
- Reload the page (Ctrl + F5) and you should get up to date information.
