IE6 problem ?
I read the Times several times a week to keep up with the UK news, but of late I cannot always get the current edition.
I can often get the home page with the right date but the news thereon might be several days old. Sometimes its correct, sometimes it is not even if the date is correct
Today was a good example, home page right date and right news, UK section ditto, but world section has the right date and the news is from several months ago !
Using "refresh" makes no difference and I find it hard to believe that the Times would be at fault.
Can usually get the Telegraph ok and read some of it but whenever I try and access the UK or World section in full IE6 closes down.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this annoying fault ?

Thanks fro the reply FL310.
I have done some more checking and discovered that it is not the fault of IE6 or my puter, it is a strange fault with my ISP.
Have checked with two locals using different ISP's and they have no trouble at all on the days that I experience this problem.
My help desk desk say they are aware of the fault and are trying to fix it. He gave me a reason but its too technical for me to understand.

FL310 has got it right you are not getting the paged refreshed each time that you visit it - see tools, internet options, temporary internet files, settings, advanced!
The date change don't mean a thing as it is a small macro that will just roll over every midnight indepentantly from the pages other contents.
