When I visit a regular site I don't press Ctrl+F5 each time. What would be the point in updating your site if all that everyone got was an old version? When I visit a regular site I get an updated version.

@ Acorn: Agree Acorn but how many Xara users know how & why to do this?The changed page can include an HTML META to force a refresh for everyone.
@ Miko:No you don't necessarily, you would normally load a cached version of the site from your local computer from your previous visit. So unless you change the meta info as Acorn suggests the old site will be rendered.When I visit a regular site I get an updated version.

So, yesterday I needed to add some information to my site. I opened Xara, I then added some information to one page. I saved the site to a local folder. I then uploaded just the changed page to my server. I then opened my web browser and went to my site. I then went to the page that I had updated and low and behold there was the updated page. I would suggest that the OP do just the same.

Sorry for the interruption but Egg suggested "Shrimps in peanutbutter?" At first I was shocked, now I'm wondering. I gotta try it now.
The updated page included a PDF file as a link. I also just put the PDF file into the index_htm_files folder without uploading the whole folder which I have done before. No issues experienced. I have another PDF file to add to another page which I shall do in the same way. I still can't believe that Joe Public would be expected to refresh a regularly visited website.
I used to update websites via FTP regularly. When the new files were uploaded, my browser ALWAYS showed the original site. Since it was a regularly visited site it was in my browser cache, and had to be manually refreshed before it updated. I've never consciously noticed a site automatically refresh. Although it does refresh after a time (logically), I ALWAYS had to manually refresh the page to see the latest version immediately.
