My bookmark takes me to "Under Constuction" screen.  Anyone else have this problem?

[Joe Allen]

Yes! Just when I went to reference the dynamic balancing document! The "HBS Website" button is also "under construction"

Why... this is unacceptable! I demand a full refund!

Seriously, a huge thank you to Charles and everyone else for providing such a fantastic resource.

I missed Charle's post that he updating  the site.  It's all good.

[Phil Kindred]

Well, this is weird, Charles.  If I use my old bookmark, I get Under Contruction.  If I do a search for the site, I can see it and bookmark it.  Is something strange or it is ok?  Actually, it's strange.  It takes me to the "What's new" section not the main page.

Phil, 
Have you emptied your web browsers cache ?

[Phil Kindred]

No--should I? And where is it?

[Charles King]

Some parts of the site can still be accessed. What you are accessing is probably pages you still have in your web browser cache. Not all of your files get deleted even if you did empty the folder.

[Phil Kindred]

OK--I'm an old fool.  Where do I find the cache?  I'm totally confused and babbling to myself.

[Charles King]

To make things easy Phil go to the 'tools' in the menu of your browser. Click on it and you will see a list of alternatives. look at the last line and click on 'Internet alternative'. A window showing different files. The one that will upon clicking on it is the general flick. Click on the delete internet files. Then below that click on 'clean earlier files' button.I don't know if this is what is says, because I'm using the swedish version of windows.

This should empty your folder.

BTW Phil I'm not done updating the site yet.

[Phil Kindred]

I don't see anything like that.  There is a cookie manager.

[Charles King]

What about 'delete files' button? I think it should be it. If not I'll help you later. Gotta go get some shut eye. Just got in and I'm tired. It's about 3:40 A.M

[Jake Danilchik]

I don't see anything like that.  There is a cookie manager.

I use a Mac so I cannot help you find it !

someone out there should be able to help you ( as long as a virus hasn't taken all the windows users out :-)  )
sorry....  I couldn't restrain myself ! 

p.s.  if you have never thrown out your cookies beware that if you decide to throw them away you likely will have to fill out your name and password on every one of the sites that you frequent ( inlcuding HBS ).

cheers,

Jake

since this is a topic about the update, i was thinking of thwtrowing this in:

Charles: maybe you know, maybe you don't but the 'show unread posts since last visit' function doesn't work. I don't get any posts and there are topics where someone had said something (like this)

hope you can fix this

[Charles King]

Thanks. I will let Kevin know about this. Thanks.
