Problem emptying cache

Hello :-)

I maintain a website for a friend that displays drawings of a character he
created. A couple days ago, my friend found an error on the this page of the
site

http://www.cassietherockvixen.furtopia.org/index-jul-luc.htm

The error involved the image on the right under the artist Lizard Beth. He
said that though the thumbnail for that second image showed up, the link got
a 404. I looked and discovered that there was an extra _ in the link. The
link refered to lizard_beth_02_.jpg when it should have referred to
lizard_beth_02.jpg Easily fixed and I checked to make sure it worked before
replying to say that it's fixed.

My friend said that it still wasn't working. I emptied my cache with no
pages open in both Opera and MSIE and tried again to make sure and it still
worked. I advised my friend who uses MSIE through AOL's dial up software to
do the same. He said he did that and it still doesn't work.

What might be wrong? Does MSIE not empty its cache completely? How can
this problem be fixed?
 
Hi,
In addition to the IE cache, AOL caches pages on proxy servers. Hitting
Ctrl+F5 while displaying the page may bypass the proxy server and download
the current page.

Hope this helps,
