Frequently, but not always, the first time I go to Calendar from the home page, the calendar displays an 'old' version of the event list.
If I return to home page and go back to 'calendar', it displays the correct event list. This does not happen every time, but it does happen approx 75% of the time. Any suggestions? Thanks.

ABish,

It sounds like the cache on your browser is not refreshing when it shows you old data, but when you return, it reloads from the new data.

Sometimes, you can force it to load from the new data, by clicking on the browser reload button.

I came up with a workaround that I've implemented that fixes the problem. Essentially, I have 2 calendar html pages. When you click on the calendar link (calendar.html) the first page loads (sometimes with corrupted data) but the first page immediately redirects to calendar2.html which is identical to calendar.html without the redirect meta tag. This simulates a single refresh.

Meta tag for redirect in calendar.html:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.thebigwheelsband.com/calendar2.html">

You can see this in action at:
