Issues with the interface: Clear your Browser Cache

What is Browser Cache

ManCloud is a browser based platform and is therefore bound to the webbrowser's functionality.

Web browsers use an internal buffer, called the cache, where online resources are stored locally on your computer to speed up future requests.  This has a historical background, when internet connections were slow and traffic was expensive.

Because ManCloud is updated on a regular basis, the webbrowser sometimes uses it's local cached copies of the files instead of getting the latest version from the internet, resulting in unexpected issues with the interface.  A simple cleaning of the cache usually resolves this issue and can be done as outlined below.
