The thread shows switching to Firefox, asking for details, and pointing at IE cache settings. Cache-related behaviour is the most common cause, but several other layers can return stale pages. The notes below collect quick, safe checks plus deeper diagnostics that complement 's suggestion without repeating the same menu steps.

Quick actions that often resolve it: perform a full reload (Ctrl+F5), open the site in a private window to bypass the normal cache, clear the browser's temporary files with the browser's clear-history key (Ctrl+Shift+Delete), and try Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled (iexplore -extoff). At the OS/network level, flushing the DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns) and testing the same URL from another machine or network helps separate local from upstream caching.

If those do not help, inspect the HTTP exchange for caching directives and intermediaries. Use the browser F12 developer tools or an HTTP client (curl -I) to check response headers like Cache-Control, Expires, ETag, Age, and Via. Corporate proxies, CDNs and some antivirus/web-acceleration software can serve cached copies; confirm whether the same headers and content reach another browser or curl. For background on how HTTP caching works and what to look for in headers, see HTTP caching - MDN and the caching semantics in RFC 7234.

Helpful diagnostics to gather when investigating: exact IE version, the affected URL(s), whether the issue appears on multiple machines/networks, and a copy of the response headers.
