When you go to view a page on the site your brower is showing you a previous version of that page it has already downloaded to your personal computer's hard disk and not going to the site servers over the internet to get the latest version of the page off the site.

You should never have the Automatically or Never option checked here.

|
| Q. I can't login to the site on my mobile device? I can't login to the site with my mobile device that uses Windows Mobile version 5.0? |
| A: Mobile/handheld operating systems and internet browsers that run on them may not be as capable as the internet browsers you use on a personal computer. Specifically mobile devices may not be able to operate web sites that make use of JavaScript coding, like our website uses. It appears that Windows Mobile version 6.0 supports Javascript coding better than the previous versions but we have not tested it. The solution is to use a mobile device that has an internet browser that can run the same Javascript code that browsers on personal computers have able to run for many years now. |
