 * When I switch on Browser cache, I get a “Not found” message for all my posts.
   My structure is:
 * /%postname%.html
 * and it’s quite popular, I guess…
 * Also, since I’ve upgraded to dev version, my database cache folder has grown 
   drastically.. 5 GB for 2 days!! The problem is, it is not automatically purged(
   I don’t know why), still.. it’s quite much space.

 * Can you submit a bug submission report from the support tab of the plugin?

 * The problem is, I downgraded to the “official” version, because the Cache took
   the size of all my account and I had problems with my hosting 🙁

 * Well you could have simply disabled the database cache or manually emptied the
   cache. Anyway, evidently there’s an issue with the WordPress cron on your site.
   So all I can suggest without more information is upgrade to the development version:
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/download/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/download/)
   since you’re using WP 3.0. And if you’re still having issues submit a bug submission
   report.

 * Hmm… actually, I’m testing on WP 3, but I’m still using WP 2.8 at my site. And
   the problem is, that DB cache grows drastically since the new (dev) version, 
   I don’t know why…
 * Also, I wonder, if my wp-cron was not working well, could I have my posts scheduled
   and published? Because that option is working.. Do you know any common limit,
   set by shared hosting providers, which could be hindering the cron job of your
   script?
 * My admin manually set a cron job, to be executed every night, and it empties 
   all the cache folders. Still, I wonder what the problem is.
 * I could switch on the dev version again, if you think that browser cache is already
   working with the permalinks structure /%postname%.html

 * Nope, because I’ve downgraded, and in the version I have currently, it is not
   present.

 * Ok, well it’s not impossible to resolve the issue because I can’t duplicate it
   and you can’t help me duplicate it.

 * OK, I’ve sent a support request vie my test installation. Sorry I didn’t think
   of it earlier.
