I know this is probably a bug in my computer, not this site, but maybe you can still help me. It seems I have to delete my cookies in order to get an updated version of the SB page. Why
why do my cookies do this to me?

Even days later, my latest posts won't show up until I delete my cookies!? Thanks for the quick reply by the way! (Thoroughly impressed)

if you are using MS internet Explorer hold down the CRTL key and press the F5 key, this should refresh the page. If you are using IE go into properties and under the settings in Browsing History you can change the setting on when to check for a new version of the webpage
Could be your IE settings. Get Firefox!
There's one where you can set when you refresh the page. It could be set to not refresh.

If you're using Internet Explorer, your browser is attempting to increase performance by showing you a cached (saved) version of the page.matjo1:I know this is probably a bug in my computer, not this site, but maybe you can still help me.

You can tell it to not do this by selecting the Tools Menu, then selecting the "General" tab, and clicking the "Settings" button in the "Browsing History" section.
Select the option that says "Check for newer versions of stored pages: Every time I visit the webpage", then click "OK" and "OK" again.
You should now get the current page each time.
There are other possible causes, but this is the most common.
