Default Internet experts.........

Need to view a page from my history from last week, but the page has since been changed.

If I view it off line, it doesn't load.

So, how do you view an old page that has since been modified?

Speak slowly, cos I don't understand too much computer stuff

If you know someone who has the page cached and has NOT attempted to visit it since, you can view it that way, but if you have since tried to visit the page again the cache will be over written.

Yeah, I have - the page was saved as a favourite, but the content of the page has been modified, and the information I required has been changed.

What particular part of the page are you after, text info or a pic?

If it's a pic there's a chance it will still be in your cache.

If it's text you're buggered I'm afraid
