Favor

Posted by Paul

Since this space is being used for oh-so-useful things these days, I do feel bad asking this. But ask I shall. Does anyone else get Sunday, April 24's news when going to this webpage? And if you don't--i.e., if you get today's news--do you know why my firefox browser keeps giving me yesterday's yesterday's yesterday's...news? Thanks!

UPDATE: I guess all I had to do was refresh my browser. But this still should not have happened. I had deleted the cache and cookies several times since April, 24. Oh well.

Uh, I think you spelled "favour" wrong.

No, I think it looks right. Y'know, as in "party-favor", or "favor my fellow citizens do me by providing universal health care", or "You need a favor, don't you? OK, you can stay here until the Vietnam war is over," or "Your offering of hides and rabbit-jerky put you securely in my favor."

Right?

i'm getting april 24th too. even after i clear the cache and hit refresh. besides, what are the odds of both of us having april 24th in our cache?

i'm on my mac now, so this is with safari, not firefox

Here's what I think they've done. It used to be that in order to get the stories on page A01, one had to visit the webpage linked to in my post. Then, if one wanted the rest of the A-section news, one had to click on "Inside the A section". However, it appears that now one can get all A-section news on one page. Perhaps they just thought they could leave the old page in its frozen April 14 state, given the improvements they've made to the other page. If so, that was just stupid.
