DIANA, IN MEMORIAM
It is ten years ago precisely that Diana, The Princess of Wales died. And in memory of her life and death I thought it appropriate to include a few thoughts here on Astrolutely.com. They come in the form of a chapter in my book, Starstruck.

| Cache Problems |
Is This My Latest?
Some visitors to my websites have problems viewing regularly updated pages (particularly weekly and monthly horoscope pages).
It is likely that this is a caching problem, please read on for further information and help.
When your web browser downloads pages from the Internet, it stores them in an area called the 'cache'. The next time you access those pages, the browser picks up the pages from the cache. If those pages have been updated since they were last viewed on your PC, then the browser should pick up the updated version. However, because of different browser settings this does not always happen.
To resolve this problem, click the 'refresh' or 'reload' button on your browser. If this is unsuccessful, hold down the control key and click refresh. Your browser should then pick up the updated page (if one is available).
If neither of these options work, try clearing the cache

Other Caches
In addition to your browser, some organisations or Internet Service Providers also cache or save Web pages and supply them to the next one of their subscribers who tries to browse them as a way of saving Internet bandwidth and making the page load faster. The page is saved on a disk or in memory of a machine within the organisation. This permits many hits to be served from one occasional download of the page by the organisation's server. Sometimes I have updated pages and had browsers complain that I have not. If your organisation has a "proxy server" or another server that caches files, or if you are with AOL or another ISP who uses caching, you may well be seeing old pages. Fast, efficient, but possibly old. For some pages I do not update frequently, including this one, it will seldom matter, but for my Horoscope pages it can make a big difference. All of my frequently updated pages have the Latest Update date at the bottom.
On some systems with caching, cached pages can be updated just by hitting your Reload or Refresh button. On others you may have to ask your system administrator how to update the cache. You can also use one of my alternate domain addresses:
http://shop.astrolutely.com
http://alt.astrolutely.com
http://cache.astrolutely.com
http://secure.astrolutely.com
http://penny.astrolutely.com
http://thornton.astrolutely.com
http://pennyt.astrolutely.com
These get you to the same pages (files) on the same physical machine as http://www.astrolutely.com but the difference in the URL will fool the cache unless some other user has done it last week!
Further Information for Internet Explorer Users
Your browser may be set to check "automatically" for newer versions of stored pages. If this is the case then you won't necessarily receive the latest version of a page. To change this, (Internet Explorer version 5.5 and above) choose "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu. In the "Temporary Internet Files" section (on the "General" tab) click the "Settings" button and select "Every time you start Internet Explorer".
To clear the cache, choose "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu. In the "Temporary Internet Files" section (on the "General" tab) click "Delete Files" and then click "OK" to confirm (do NOT tick the option to "Delete all offline content").
Further Information for Netscape Users
As with Internet Explorer, you can change the settings on Netscape browsers to ensure that they pick up the latest version of web pages.
To access the settings for Netscape (version 4.7) choose "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu, expand the "Advanced" option by clicking on the "+" symbol by it and go to "cache". Ensure that "Once per session" is checked under "Document in cache is compared to document on the network" and click "OK".
To clear the cache in Netscape 4.7 follow the instructions above, but when you get to "cache", click the "Clear Memory Cache" and "Clear Disk Cache" buttons.
If you continue to have difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact my Webmaster at: webmaster @ astrolutely.com
