Friday, April 11, 2008
Some users have reported not being able to see the Zoo Atlanta cam even after I update it. This is due to the recent site updates. You may have to clear your cache. Details on how this can be done can be found here. Or if you are on a Windows platform you may press CTRL + F5, to do a hard refresh this will bypasses the cache and load the actual page as it is stored on the server.
If you visit a web site frequently, your web browser stores elements of the web page in a cache so that they do not have to be downloaded again each time you visit, making your browsing faster. In some cases, when the web site is changed, you may not be able to view the changes because you are actually viewing the cache.
Clearing the cache will remove all of the older saved versions of web sites you visit, which means that the entire page will have to be freshly downloaded when you visit it. Clearing the cache is more time consuming than doing a hard refresh, and only needs to be done periodically, but can be beneficial if you are having difficulty with your browser. For more information please visit WiseGeek.
