Site in question is lincolnshire-oil-engine-club.co.uk
most of the pages have a link to a photo album <li><a href="photos/">Photos</a></li>
if you look at the source code it shows as <li><a href="photo/">Photos</a></li>
the {s} is missing, if I download the pages they all have photos not photo

I would appreciate any advice
Thanks

On http://lincolnshire-oil-engine-club.co.uk/ I see

CODE
<li><a href="photos/">Photos</a></li>

in the source. But on http://lincolnshire-oil-engine-club.co.uk/news.html I see

CODE
<li><a href="photo/">Photos</a></li>


Maybe your browser is displaying older, cached versions of some pages?

Yes thats a possibility,
If I use internet explorer it refuses to open the site, just shows a 403 error but thats my computer,
IE works perfectly ok on another machine.
firefox and chrome both display ok except for the photo problem
I will backup the whole site and search for any cached files, its not a large site so it wouldnt be that
difficult to rebuild
Thanks for looking and for the suggestion

That's a "Forbidden" server response. It should normally be the same for different browsers. Again I suspect that your copy of IE is showing an old cached version of the URL --perhaps directory listing is not allowed on your server, and you got a 403 response earlier, before adding an index.html file in the directory.

No, cached files are saved by your browser in your computer (except for rare cases when ISPs sometimes cache pages, at least this could happen 15 years ago). In IE this is called "Temporary Internet Files". Check your browsers' cache settings and/or empty their caches.

The online web pages that use the

CODE
<li><a href="photo/">Photos</a></li>

code must still be edited, of course.

Thanks for the input, Temporary internet files in IE. was the problem but its rather strange that it only effected lincolnshire oil engine club, non of my other sites, which are all with the same ISP

Bercuase no faulty copies of pages on the other domains were cached? The host has nothing to do with it.

In theory you might set different cache-control headers for different pages (either on the server or as a META element in the HTML), but I don't see any of that on the URLs I linked to above.
