APOD site defaults to yesterday's picture

Post by ebow » Wed Dec 13, 2006 6:37 pm

For at least two days now, when I go to the main APOD page I get yesterday's picture (& text). On Tuesday it showed Monday's, today on Wednesday it shows Tuesday's. Each time I have to click the forward arrow to go to the next day's page. This happens for me in both Firefox 2 and IE 6 for Windows. Is it just me, or are others seeing this as well?

nope, seems fine here. Perhaps your browser isn't checking for a new page every time it received a request from you.

I considered that (cache, cookies, some similar problem) but I have not used Internet Explorer to go to the APOD site in months (or perhaps ever on this computer) and even it gave me yesterday's page. Of course it worked correctly today (both browsers) so... never mind? :?

maybe site tries to be smart and use your timezone?
