I have this happen unfrequently on my pocket pc. I navigate to multiple
sites and then hit backarrow to go back to the page on the website that I
came from. Sometimes the backarrow reveals a page that is old.

For example I try news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/default.stm and click on one of the
links on the page. When hit the back arrow on the page it displays an old
copy of news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/default.stm. This has happened on cnn and msn
pages too. It happens infrequently.

Any ideas.

I'd like to hear more about this problem.

1) What version of Windows Mobile are you using?
2) Do you have any way of reproducing it reliably?
3) Does it depend on the length of time between when you visit the link and
when you hit back?

This is normally directly related to the connection status... if the ppc
sees no network connection, it automatically loads a cached copy if one
is available with no message to the user that the display is coming from
cache.

The next time it happens, open your favorites... if locations that you
have not visited since your last cache clear are "greyed out" the ppc
thinks that there is no internet connection.
