The refresh button looks like this    Updates hiding on you?
There is a flaw in Microsoft browsers that is bothersome when a site is updating information a lot. Your computer stores all the pages of your previous visits to all sites and prefers them rather than the latest page. (This is to speed up your access time, but unfortunately it doesn't check time-stamps.) If you suspect there is newer information than you see, especially if you are visiting the site again on the same day, then click the "Refresh" button in the upper left of the screen once or twice and you'll get the new page. This is a handy trick everywhere on the internet.
