Safari's bad short-term memory-Advice?

I'm Hungry
Not sure if anyone else has this problem. I looked around and found nothing. Here's what happens. I go to a forum, check unread messages, and close Safari or go elsewhere online. When I return to that forum at a later time, the same read messages are showing as unread. (Anything that's been read a while ago, stays as read. This applies to more recent activity.) And worse, new topics aren't showing. Like I went there for the first time that day. I hit refresh and new topics show up and read messages show correctly as read. So, everytime I go to the forum, I have to first hit refresh. Even if I post a new message, it doesn't show up til I hit refresh. Like it needs a jump start to remember what's happened recently.

I haven't noticed it here. As you can tell from my post count, I don't say much here. I just read a lot. But the one I'm discussing is a private one I use all the time and never had a problem with past Safari releases. And, IE on OS X and 9 work fine. I'm pretty sure that this Safari release is the culprit. Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks
 
It's not that Safari has a poor memory, but that it's too good. The only possiblity is a cache file, If you go to the safari menu and choose empty cache, that will force all new pages to reload (nothing in the cache at that point). There is a way to disable to cache, so no pages are ever cached. Perhaps someone here knows of a way. I used Safari enhancer, but that option to disable cache does not seem to work since v 1.0
 
You can also force a reload from the server you're connecting to by holding Shift while clicking the reload button.
