What you're experiencing is the browser cache issue, this is something easily cured by adding &nocache=[random][random][random] to each link, that will prevent the browser pulling up a cached version of the page. (You're making every link unique, so the browser will always pull a fresh copy of the page)The problem we're experiencing, is somehow due to the proxy cache server being used by an ISP, and it's only one ISP, our biggest client IP address is another ISP cache server, and that one (along with many many others) does not seem to have this problem of apparently pulling cart ID's from it's cache. ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
