Before suggesting a possible workaround, did you click on the individual frame before hitting ^F5 ? I don't know if that'll make a difference, but it seems plausible that you might need to tell NetSurf precisely what you want reloaded. Failing that, if it definitely doesn't work with frames, a possible workaround might be to load the page into a new window (adjust click on the link that loads the page into the frame) then, if the rendered page is the old one, ^F5 on that. If you need to see it in the context of the frameset, after doing that close the new page then ^F5 on the whole again. Hopefully, it'll now reload the whole frameset - but with the new page, since that's the last version it used. As with clicking on the individual frame first, I don't know if this'll work - since I don't use frames, so I've never hit on the problem - but it seems logical. -- Vince M Hudd Soft Rock Software

Did some further updates on the Archive site today, and again came up against this fails-to-reload problem. Neither ^F5 or ^R or the buttonbar route do the trick: old page always reappears. Then an Aha moment. My change was to the contents of a FRAME within the page. Is there any way to cause a frame to reload? Do the powers of ^F5 etc need to be extended? Still using Netsurf #3433 here, on Armini 5.22 and ArmX6 5.23 -- I promise to fetch newest version this weekend. (As for frames, I see their disadvantages. The Archive site was maintained for 15 years by a volunteer member, who designed it when frames were in fashion. Sad to say, he died at Christmas.) -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

Does it do the same thing as Ctrl-F5 or not? Vince's email is pretty clear. B.

Interactive help for the item on the Netsurf buttonbar does say "Reload". Does it do the same thing as Ctrl-F5 or not? -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

FWIW, Ctril-F5 - which may be unfamiliar, but is standard on all the browsers I use (including NetSurf) - is the keystroke I use to reload pages when working on websites because it *does* fetch a new version of the page, rather than just reload it from a cache. -- Vince M Hudd Soft Rock Software
Netsurf refresh
This might or might not be related to the issues Vincent Sanders talks about in the current thread "Netsurf cache". I recently updated the home page of my own website. Then tested viewing it with Netsurf. It kept serving up the old page, despite my clicking Netsurf's Reload button -- with Select (to reload page), then again with Adjust (to "reload page and all the objects it contains"). Is this non-update to be expected? Am I misunderstanding the use of Reload? (Hmm, just noticed from a search of Netsurf menu that the shortcut for "Navigate > Reload page" is Ctrl-F5 -- I didn't try that unfamiliar keystroke, but presume it does same as above. Is Ctrl-R used at all?) I finally deleted the history file; then my revised page displayed. Shouldn't reload trump history? Using Netsurf #3433 at the moment. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk
Netsurf refresh all go slow
I'm using the current test build(2 Aug r10677) but have noticed over the last few weeks that Netsurf seems to really slow down in terms of scrolling down pages very quickly or if I drag the whole window around the screen its very slow and very sluggish and soesn't refresh very well? Oregano2 on the other whizzes around much faster. If I try and scroll down a page using the scroll wheel its even slower. I've noticed this over the last month and prior to this I would download the current test builds and had no issues. I'm using it on an Iyonix 5.16 and Geminus with options switched off for acceleration, though would be keen to know if thats the best option. Regards.
