Okay, what you've described is a normal caching issue: there's an excellent explanation of caching in this staff blog post.

As explained in the blog post I linked, there are many layers of caching between you and Wikia, and sometimes this causes viewers to see a slightly out-of-date version of a webpage. This is normal.

Here are some things you can do to try to bypass the cache, but they aren't always fullproof:
 * 1) Log in your account. Logged in users experience significantly less caching.
 * 2) To break the server-side cache for a single wiki page, edit that page and publish your edit.
 * 3) To try to update the server-side cache, append ?action=purge to the end of the URL. For example, for this page it would be http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:505801?action=purge
 * 4) To update your browser cache, press CTRL+F5 to do a hard refresh (works in Chrome and Firefox, there are slightly different ways to do a hard refresh in other browsers)
 * 5) If you're desperate, try clearing your browser history and cookies.

If you wait 24 hours, the caches should update and you should see the current version of the page no matter what. If you are experiencing persistent caching issues after 1 or 2 days, please contact Wikia at Special:Contact.
