Browser Cache
Modern web browsers store ("cache") frequently accessed files locally for efficiency reasons. Sometimes browsers do not detect that those files have changed on the server, and the local cache needs to be manually emptied so that the latest version of the file is accessed. This frequently occurs with javascript and css files, which contain the code and formatting that underlie many web pages.
Thus it can be necessary that WebMO users must clear their web browser cache, particularly after updating WebMO which likely includes newer version of these types of files.
Instructions for clearing the cache of popular browsers follow.
