I’ve just checked now and it still shows 08:58 Jan 22 2024.

I’m accessing it via the Aardvark Topsites link on my front page. It’s right down at the bottom beneath the IICCP banner.

I choose Enter without voting and that takes me to the league table. I’m shown in 4th but with old data. I’m using Safari on my iPad. I’ll check with my laptop running W11.

Later… it’s fine on my laptop. Any Apple experts around? :bash:
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

I see similar - up-to-date on your website, but when I look at the cumulussites page you are in third place and your data is from 06:35 yesterday. This smells like caching settings on the cumulussites end. Perhaps the whole cumulussites page is cached in our browsers, and it is caching on content-type of PNG for a long time? You could experiment by clearing the cache on your browser which is showing the old data. This should force a fresh download of the complete cumulussites page.

What device are you using Freddie? With my iPad on iOS I’m seeing yesterday’s data, with Windows laptop it’s current.

I’ve cleared the cache for cumulussites in my iPad. Can’t do any more really. It’s okay on Windows suggesting it’s not cumulussites causing the problem. But theirs is the only place it’s not current suggesting it is something there.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

Chrome on Windows has the data from 12:00 today.
Chrome on Android phone is what was giving the time I quoted earlier.

Thanks for reporting back Freddie. Not sure anyone can do anything about it. Just different browsers on different OSs.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

I think this is an iOS issue.

I did a search about caching issues on Safari, and there's tons of complaints going back 10 years or more.

Hard to argue with that. My new MeteoBlue widget was fine with Windows but wouldn’t display with iOS. The problem was an open <a> command. Sufficient to prevent it showing on my iPad but Windows and Android were fine. Once corrected it’s fine on all.

It’s an irritant, nothing more.

Hi,
Does anyone know where the code for this graphics banner can be downloaded from please.

Nossie, I will have a look on my PC and see if I have the original, but I have my doubts.

Hopefully someone will know where it can be sourced from.

Cheers

Great, thank you.

The first post needs updating for sure.
Maybe one of the admins could alter this for us.
