I had numerous problems and every time I would report them to support,
Stephanie's answer would be to turn off the cache.

Looking through my old e-mails, I find that I finally decided to take
Tenon's advice and turn off the cache after reporting this problem (and
getting the same answer: turn off the cache):

WebTen has indeed worked better since turning off the cache. It also gives
me better control over the logging.
