Question

Postby optical illusion » Sat Jun 14, 2008 9:52 pm

If you put something into a search engine and a web page of yours turns up, but it's something you wrote on it months ago and you no longer want it showing up, is there any way to delete it??

I assumed you tried editting it, so I'd say asking a mod of the forum to delete it might be your only hope?

Well I have edited it, it's not a forum it's a web page. I can't understand why something I wrote months ago and have changed a long while ago still shows up in the top three... If it's edited surely that means goodbye because when you go to the actual page that you've clicked the link on, it just shows my new, edited page...

Search engines cache web pages, something like your temp. folder.
Give it a while and it should be updated...

Thought that. It's been over a month though!
