If anyone has advice that’d be great.

In my app i have a show action in my video controller. I do not have  
any kind of caching setup at the moment that i know of. I have 2 other  
controllers that pretty much do the same thing and they are fine. my  
problem is when i click the link to go to the video\_path(video) \<-  
this is because i am using permalinks as shown in railscasts. the show  
view

1. logs me in, and
2. its displaying an older view? i have looked at my source in github  
and it is the most recent code. its like its being cached but i have  
cleared out all my cache, i have deleted all my cookies, I was using  
authlogic and i made the change to use the active record store. If i  
remove the permalink and just use the id, i get the page like it is  
supposed to be. Only when i use the permalink does it use this older  
view and log me in.

if anyone has experienced this please advise…im at a loss

Thanks
