I have added some file caching to the whole site to reduce server load and hopefully speed up the site. This means that image files will be cached by your browser for up to a week - this means that you will not be downloading all the little pictures every time you browse to a new page. html files are cached for 12 hours. Script files (ie forums) have no caching information sent, so this means that your browser decides on caching. I am not sure whether this is a good idea. I am not even sure whether it is a change from the old configuration.

If the forum appears to not be updating, try hitting ctrl-F5. This forces a refresh of all files. If this gives you a new updated version, it means your browser was caching the forum. Please let me know if this happens so I can alter the setting appropriately.

For those who are interested, these are the settings I am using, in the root htaccess file:


Code (html):

<filesmatch "\.(flv|gif|ico|jpg|jpeg|png|swf|bmp|giff|css|js|pdf|txt)$"> header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800" </filesmatch> <filesmatch "\.(html|htm)$"> header set Cache-Control "max-age=43200" </filesmatch> <filesmatch "\.(cgi|fcgi|php|pl|scgi|spl)$"> header unset Cache-Control <ifmodule mod_expires.c> expiresactive off </ifmodule> </filesmatch> <ifmodule mod_expires.c> expiresdefault "access plus 24 hours" </ifmodule>

Any advice would be appreciated.
