Accessing the Pencil2D website via Google

When i access the Pencil2D website via Google I get a different front page to when I access it directly, using my phone, using Firefox.

Why does this happen, do Google hold a copy of the initial page on their servers?

If you click on the link marked 0.6.6 - Bug free release you get the correct download page displayed and it works correctly too.

What exactly do you mean by “front page”? What’s visible on your screenshot is simply the Google results page. I don’t know what search terms you used, but when I search for Pencil2D, it does show the latest version:

Are you sure clicking on the 0.6.6 link takes you directly to the download page, or does it take you to the 0.6.6 release announcement and you navigated to the download page from there? In the latter case it is expected that that page shows 0.7.0 rather than 0.6.6 because we do not maintain dedicated download pages for older versions on our website.

I’m typing in the search term ‘Pencil2D’.

When you directly use Firefox, you get the page that you include in your reply.

Our work computers force you to search using Google search and they produce the display included in my reply.

I think the problems not yours, but it belongs to Google!

I’m mystified by the difference.

Indeed, it must be on Google’s end.

The reason I raised this issue is that I can see that it’s not the Pencil2D groups problem, but others may not understand this and think it the Pencil2D groups fault!

If the user clicks on the 0.6.6 link on the page, the correct page to download the latest version 0.7.0 loads.

I’ve done some other searches via Google recently and been supplied with totally incorrect information!
