Lost emails: I had discovered, and then lost, several emails due to a problem with my PC (Personal Confuser ?).
If you sent an email to me in the May-July 2007 timeframe and did not get an answer, I apologize.
I try to answer all valid emails as soon as possble.
There have been two complaints in the last few months of SoapCalc not working properly. In each case I tested the pages and they were working fine. Sometimes when I make an update, the browser holds on to an older file instead of loading all new files when you request a page - in spite of the fact that each SoapCalc page has several instructions for the browser not to do this. This can cause the calculator to malfunction. Unfortunately these instructions do not always work due to some browser anomalies. The only cure is to clear the browser's cache (not cookies or any history - just cache/files) and reload the page. How to clear browser cache |
