428304 2006-02-08 00:49:00 Throw in the META tags that tell it (probably IE) not to cache...They are never a guaranteed work though.


Chnage it to white and make it bigger.Agree, it is hard to read.

Maybe her ISP has a caching proxy holding a copy of it or something.

428305 2006-02-08 02:08:00 as Terry mentioned, February is mis-spelt.Thanks for pointing out my typo.

Thanks (not!) to those who've criticised the site, as I wanted to point my client to this forum thread to show that it was in fact updated.

428306 2006-02-08 02:15:00 Thanks (not!) to those who've criticised the site, as I wanted to point my client to this forum thread to show that it was in fact updated.If you were confident in the quality of the work surely this wouldn't be an issue. It's a public forum, and the comments made were valid - the text _is_ hard to read.

On a monitor with the brightness too high or contrast out, I could imagine that link being difficult to see.

Showing a client a forum thread to prove that you made a change to their web-site is pretty amateurish.

428307 2006-02-08 02:17:00 assuming she's using Internet exploder........tell her to open it up then goto tools/internet options/temporary internet files/settings.........make sure theres a tick in 'check for newer versions of stored pages' ...........'every visit to the page'.........

it's a possibliity what she is viewing is a page from her cache not the 'real' thing...

A rose by any other name would cost that much?

Balls. The text's easy to read - been to an eye specialist lately?

The site was made to the client's specs - it's not for me or especially the likes of you to point out what they want.

As for "amateurish" I get paid well for the work I do - so it's not amateur. Try www.dictionary.com before you climb out of your own backside next time.

428310 2006-02-08 03:34:00 Without looking at a dictionary, the original meaning of "profession or professional", is to work in one and, in a professional manner, i.e. with skill, knowlege and care, which is why incidentaly, many professions espouse a "duty of care" to their clients and affected others. It had nothing to do with remuneration for the work, in fact many professionals had and required other means.

Just thought I'd throw that irrelevancy in for you all. As you were, carry on. ;)

Just because you get paid for it doesn't mean it's not amateurish.:

428312 2006-02-08 03:46:00 The professions (law, accounting, medicine, ...) often marked themselves by charging much higher fees than mere "tradesmen". This was emphasized when their fees were in guineas. Now tradesmen charge much more, but one difference is preserved: propfessionals are perfect and infallible. If what they do doesn't work, they will gladly let you pay another fee for them to try again. The trades, being less highly skilled, usually are required to attempt to make good their cockups. Such rules are made by professionals, like lawyers. Graham L (2)
