Update- January 2013:
Before you try any of the long-term fixes below, here's a quick solution that gets immediate results. It's called a Force Refresh. Instead of just clicking on your browser's refresh (reload) button, hold down the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard while you click on the refresh (reload) button.

For some insane reason, newer browsers don't always refresh when you tell them to, unless you press the 'Ctrl' key too. So, when you happen on a link that advises you to refresh before clicking on it, please press the 'Ctrl' key too.

To read the long-winded reasons behind this, read the blue text. Otherwise, skip to the black text below.

Recently, the whole "refresh" issue has been driving web designers crazy. That's how I found out. The problem began back in the days of yore, when dragons ruled the Earth and the Internet was new. In (almost) the beginning, the decree went out -- "Let all browsers have the right to store web pages upon the hard drive of the user's computer. In this way, the page will load quicker when the honorable web surfer, surfs back to it." (Remember when we called it surfing?)

But then some frightened but stalwart programmer stepped forward with shaking knees and said, "Yes my Lord. But what if perchance the online page is updated? Then shall not the surfer be deprived forever of reading the new page, for the surfer will surfest on their own hard drive and never see the changes on thine devine Internet!"

The Browser King fell silent for a moment, while the world wide web shimmered in frightened repose. But then the king raised his staff before the multitudes and said, "Then let there be a handy button. A browser button with a swirly, almost spinning insignia that allows the surfer to surfist to the newest information." The crowd went wild with cheers, the programmer's life was spared and all browsers, thereafter, were given the swirly button that we may verily click upon. At least, that's how I remember it.

But starting in 2013, the Browser King had one draught of mead too many, and the stupid refresh button no longer refreshes, unless we know the royal secret about reloading with the 'Ctrl' key. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. This has proven to be an easy and immediate fix but it's incredibly stupid nevertheless. For more permanent fixes, you can read on, but please do remember, when you happen on a link that advises you to refresh before clicking on it, please press the 'Ctrl' key too. This is true for our web site, and for everything else on the www.

All browsers are different but, for long term fixes, basically what you want to do is to set your browser's preferences so that you'll always see the latest pages, instead of old pages that your browser has loaded onto your hard drive. Often, without you knowing it. Look for selections like "Clear my cache every time I close my browser" and select those options. Otherwise, you won't be accessing the www. You'll just be reading old news that's been loaded onto your hard drive, without your permission.

Our free forecasts are always updated, just before the monthly ki changes. Generally, the update is made during the first few days of each calendar month. Every forecast lists the appropriate date, in red letters, near the bottom of the page.

If you cannot locate your latest forecast, then it's due to one, or both, of the following problems:

1) You are going directly to your forecast page.

SOLUTION
Don't do that! Our forecast pages "rotate" from one month to the other. If you add your forecast page to Favorite Places (bookmark the page), it won't be the correct page, for you, in future months.

Instead, you can bookmark our Home Page to your favorite places, and then use the Home Page menu to click on the 'Free Forecast' link. That's the easiest solution and, besides, our Home Page has plenty of interesting information, as well.

2) Your browser has saved an obsolete file on your hard drive.

SOLUTION
Your browser may be calling up an obsolete file (from an earlier month) without you even knowing. You can tell your browser to always check for the most recent file. That will make it easy to access your 9 Ki Forecast, plus it will insure that you have the most recent information at all web sites.

Not all web browsers are exactly the same. But, most allow you to tell them to look for new updates on the web. Here are some examples:

INTERNET EXPLORER: (Version 6)
In the pull-down menu, click on TOOLS
then INTERNET OPTIONS
then GENERAL
then TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES
then SETTINGS
Choose "Check for newer versions of stored pages - AUTOMATICALLY"
or Choose "Check for newer versions of stored pages - EVERY VISIT TO THE PAGE"
Either choice will work.

NETSCAPE: (Version 7.1)
In the pull-down menu, click on EDIT
then PREFERENCES
then double-click ADVANCED
then click on CACHE
Choose "Compare the page in the cache to the page on
the network: EVERY TIME I VIEW THE PAGE"
or
Choose "Compare the page in the cache to the page on
the network: WHEN THE PAGE IS OUT OF DATE"
Either choice will work.

OTHER BROWSERS & OLDER VERSIONS OF INTERNET EXPLORER & NETSCAPE:
Have similar functions that forces the browser to look for the most recent update.

NOTE:
If you don't want to change your browser settings, then you can accomplish the same thing, manually, by pressing CTRL while clicking on your 'refresh' ('reload') button, when our web site prompts you to do so.

SUMMARY:
If in doubt, check the date on your forecast.
Don't bookmark your forecast page.
Make sure your browser is looking at the latest information.

If you're still not able to access the correct forecast / correct date, then please Tell Us.
