Altru Ideas

Pro Tip: Use Internet Explorer when updating web forms.

We just recently updated our web form in the left call out box with some new text.  I was using Chrome.  However, the changes were showing up on my computer (probably because of a local cache) but none of my co-workers computers.  After doing a ton of research it seems that Chrome holds cached pages despite clearing the cache and doing a flushdns command.  As one forum pointed out Chrome forfeits utility for speed.  I resubmitted the changes using IE and it made the changes across all my co-workers computers almost instantly.  In the end, I found out a full reboot of the person's computer or a server cache clear would have resolved the issue as well.
