The Cache:
While viewing web pages, Netscape will save files to a temporary folder on your computer in both memory and hard drive space. This helps speed up the loading of pages which you visit on a regular basis. However, this may also cause you to not see regular updates on a web page. If refreshing the page does not work, you may wish to clear the cache of these temporary internet files. Select the “Edit” >> “Preferences” window.

Under the "Advanced" tab, select "Cache." You can delete these files (with "Clear Memory Cache" and "Clear Disk Cache") and start fresh. The numbers to the left of these buttons represent the amount of space your computer will set aside for these temporary files. By changing these numbers you can adjust the amount of space Netscape will set aside on your computer for these temporary files, and how often the browser should check to see if a page is updated upon visiting.
