This site changes daily. Make sure you are looking at the most recent pages. Your computer stores web-pages, to make access faster if you re-visit them... but the pages stored may have changed, and need 'refreshing'!

You can 'set' your 'Explorer' to 'refresh' automatically.

automatic refreshing instructions

In your Explorer, above, you can click View and then Refresh, or simply click the icon, above, which looks like a page with two green arrows on it.

Better practice is to have Explorer do this for you automatically: Click Tools, above; click Internet Options at the bottom of the drop-down menu; make sure you are looking at the General tab; in the middle of the card, under 'Temporary Internet files', click Settings; under 'check for newer versions of stored pages', click the button in front of 'Every visit to the page'. Click 'OK'... Bingo!.....now you will always be 'Refreshed'!
