My life is stupid. Maybe someone, some kind soul, can help me with one aspect of my stupid, stupid life.
See, on May 7, I visited several web pages. A few here, a few there, you know. Achewood, was, of course, one of them, as was slate, and pitchfork, imdb and a few others. Since then, on several of those websites, when I visit them again, THEY ARE STUCK ON MAY 7!!! It is absolutely maddening! With slate, achewood, and pitchfork, by slightly altering the usual url I would use, I can get the current updates. But on several others, IT IS STILL STUCK! It only happens with those websites I was visiting on, or around, May 7. Any ideas? A virus or worm or whatever?

What are you talking about? It is May 7.

Needlenose Ned.

Man - you have no idea! I seriously was going insane for a couple of days. I really thought that either I was dreaming, hallucinating, or part of some world wide web conspiracy. It didn't help that I was in the process of quitting my "meds," so I was already totally out of it.

Ha, this is totally a "Ray-Beef" thread.

Heh heh, and which one am I? (And are you implying I am computer stupid?)
But seriously friends, if anyone can help...
A big thanks is in store.

Trying clearing your cache.
-
Yea, CTRL+R surely.

IE definitely likes to misbehave when the Temporary Internet Files gets full so that's probably the best bet. Plus you'll clear out a bunch of nasty old cookies in the process.
-
Done, done and done.
Refresh was the first thing I did, plus the cache/temporary internet files have been cleared numerous times, and I have been deleting the history folder vigilantly.

As well you should. I would additionally recommend that you get a better browser (http://mozilla.org/products/firefox/) and only use IE as a backup.
Firefox Setup for Windows (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.8/FirefoxSetup-0.8.exe)
Firefox Extensions List (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/) Get AdBlock, ImageZoomer, and IEView and you will be set for life.

Who's your ISP? Do you have any of those dial-up accelerators? Have you tried a hard refresh (I believe it's ctrl+F5 in IE)
Edit: Don't forget the Tabbrowser Extension (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#tbe). It's what makes the web worth browsing.

Earthlink. It's free for a few more months, then I'll probably get a high speed connection of some sort. And I do use the earthlink accelerator. I tried the ctrl+F5, and it did appear to refresh but it didn't change anything.

Wait a minute, you genius you! I just went to the accelerator options and cleared THAT temp file, and it appears to have done the trick. Thanks, thank you and thank you. You are a good kind person.

And thanks to the rest of you who helped, and to those who made fun. It was a good laugh. I somehow knew that I would find the answer here.

Hello? Earthlink?
-Ya.
Um, so, tell me about how your internet is faster than the internet i have now?
-Ya, we have an accelerator, and it makes the internet, faster.
Um, so, I download a web page, and um, it's faster?
-Ya, everything that you download, see, our Accelerator, see, it SAVES it to your computer!!
Um, so i don't have to download it again, right?
-Ya, right! you aren't too stupid.
Um, ya, so, that would be why weather.com is telling me that there's a 98% chance of snow today? In July? In Tennessee?
-....
Um, ya, so, uh, how're those $cientoligists treating you guys? You ever just miss
