Q: Safari loading old pages?

Anyone else noticing Safari opening old pages on forums? While visiting several of my daily forums today, I noticed it loading pages that were from my visits last night or yesterday. I'm pretty sure I cleared my history last night, so it must be reading some invalid cookie data?

 

If you want to look for this, pay attention to forum pages that load possibly after you post. I noticed this twice on two different forums.

 

Anyone else having this happen?

    What would constitute a concrete example that would satisfy you?

    A concrete example would be a URL which reproduces the "old page" problem. Before iOS 5.1 it was quite easy to produce such examples.

     

    Without examples this just smoke.

    I've updated, and it's still happening to me at www.soundsonline-forums.com and at <gasp> drudgereport.com.  Yeah, I check drudge.  Eat it, Apple users.

    Agreed. Here's another, so I know it's not just one forum and their software...

    And also:

     

    Www.theaustralian.com.au

     

    It isn't just forums.  Doesn't always happen, perhaps about 60% of the time...  But brings back pages from days ago.  I have the latest software also.

    To whoever is modding this thread:

     

    I am not very happy that you allow another member to insinuate I am a liar, leave their rude and inappropriate posts; then, proceed to delete my response to the member - as well as post(s) where I share URLs as requested to prove the issue still exists.

     

    You've demonstrated a very quick and sure way to lose a long time consumer. You might want to reconsider this type of action against a customer that's purchased nearly EVERY iDevice released.

    If you would like to re-post the URL that proves the issue exists, please feel free. We removed the post where you called another user a jerk and all responses were pulled as a result. We are not here to take sides, just to remove name calling and abusive behavior of other users. I'm sorry if you feel this has been unfair, we welcome you to repost without the name calling.

    Well - I still have this problem, but it's clearly an intermittent one and perhaps less frequent lately.  But just now I was looking at http://www.tuaw.com, where the lead story was "Apple lets kids play with iPads rather than iMacs". I visited that story, and when I swiped back to the home page, the lead story shown was "Deepworld launches Kickstarter Project to help fund a Mac bete," which was posted four days ago on April 23.  I've closed the TUAW tab on my browser, reopened it and gone through the same steps again (this time using the back button), and again, going back opened the same page from four days earlier.  When I refresh I get the correct page from today.

     

    I have all current updates for Mac OSX 10.7.3, and see the same behavior (intermittently) on my iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) and my older MacBook.  I'll be surprised if the same page produces the same behavior on others' browsers though, since it would be unexpected for a problem like this to be related to the site rather than something internal to the browser -- just a guess.

    Happens to daily on the website www.n4g.com. The only workaround I have is to clear cache and cookies which is frustrating because it logs me out of all my usual sites!! This is on a current gen Reyna iPad running latest iOS.

    Hopefully everyone reads this, first time I ever post something on a forum, not sure how create a new thread.

     

    Anyhow, I think I solved the problem. My issue was occurring on my iPhone6. A previous page would appear for a few seconds when opening safari then disappear. No shame in hiding it either, it was a **** site, insanely embarrassing when opening safari around someone and it opens.

     

    Getting to the point.. if you go into settings/Safari then check off "Preload Top Hit". Its been 3 days since I've done it and the page in question hasn't appeared.

     

    Hope this helps!
