  Q: Why is your site showing OLD NEWS or NO NEWS?

  A: CitizensVoice.com is updated every single day. If you are seeing an older version of our site, please   
  click on the reload/refresh button on your browser. (Also pressing and holding the CTRL key while 
  clicking on the refresh button)

  If that doesn't work, you may need to adjust your internet settings by deleting your temporary internet 
  files, clearing your computer's cache or clearing your history. Also, if you subscribe to America Online,    
  your web browser might not show some parts of our site. The best solution is to download the latest 
  version of AOL's software by going to keyword: upgrade. The upgrade is free and versions are available 
  for Windows and Macintosh. The latest version should make your entire Internet surfing sessions more
  enjoyable due to new features and upgrades in AOL's software.
  Also note: AOL caches (or copies) pages to save bandwidth. AOL caches or stores web pages on their 
  own servers to speed up internet access for their millions of customers. But when you, the AOL user, click 
  on a web page, you are unaware that you are actually seeing a stored page on the AOL server and not a 
  "live" web page. If this happens, use the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser instead of the AOL browser. 
  Doing so would allow you to surf our website independent of the AOL cache.

   If you still are having problems, email us.
