I would try erasing *just* the cache.  But, first, try a forced reload.
It should re-fetch the page, rather than just refresh the display.

Instead of just clicking on the reload icon, try shift-clicking it.  Or
ctrl+click, or alt+click (it's going to depend on your browser).  If
you're using the keyboard, it may be shift+ctrl+r.

The cache is the local copy of the pages, occasionally something goes
haywire on your side, or theirs, and you get stuck with a page that
isn't right.  You don't need to keep your cached files, they'll be
fetched again.

For what it's worth, caching only helps with unchanged files.  With
dynamic pages, the content changes all the time and is virtually
uncacheable (though there's usually a plethora of small images that
are, such as site logos, navigational icons, etc).
