I am the Webmaster of the site www.gambling.com. The site is heavily
Cold Fusion based, and uses the technology in part to deliver
personalised pages to visitors of the site. For example, the home page
welcomes registered visitors back to the site by name (via the use of a
cookie and an integrated database).

Over the past two weeks, many visitors to the site using AOL have been
incorrectly identified as another person when viewing the site�s pages.
This appears to be the result of the visitor viewing a cached version of
the page in question, rather than a fresh copy of the page personalised
for them.

I have looked at the AOL site for advice to Webmasters and AOL claim
that they abide by all the relevant conventions regarding caching. Our
pages have been written to avoid their content being cached, and until
recently this was true, but the situation with AOL has for some reason
recently changed. Access via all other ISP seems unaffected, and the
problem only appears when using the AOL client browser.

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Does anyone know if the AOL caching
systems have recently changed? Are you the Webmaster of a site that is
experiencing similar problems with AOL users?

Please respond with any thoughts you may have.
