Safari and browsing forums issues

Question

This is a hard thing to describe, but here goes.
When I browse forums on the iPad (or iPhone) I will see a bunch of recent threads. I will find one interesting, click on it, and read. Then when I am done reading, I will press back to return to the list of threads. Now, all of the topics are a day or more old. Also, the thread I just read is no where to be found. It's like when I push back, it goes to a much older history than I'm asking for. Now the fix is simple, just refresh the page and I get the most recent threads. However, it is a little annoying and I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer Barney-15E. It turned out that Comcast had set a proxy when they last serviced my cable modem and it was routing everything through port 8100.
For the benefit of others who may have the same problem. If you find a Comcast Proxy in your proxy settings looking something like this:
Address: actsvr.comcastonline.com
Port 8100
You can delete it. Found this response on another forum and it seemed to do the trick:
"This is a simple fix. You have a proxy checked (Comcast is famous for this) in your Internet Explorer. Go to Tools->Internet Options. Then, click on "Connections" and then "LAN Settings". Under "Proxy Server", it likely has the box checked. Mine said:
Address: actsvr.comcastonline.com
Port 8100
This, for me, was a clear Comcast hack that they probably did when when they installed new service. Just uncheck the box and clear out the "Address" and "Port". Then, click on "Ok"."
