Need help

Postby trgeorge » Wed Sep 15, 2004 1:06 pm

Ok lately (past two days) I had some strange problems with those forums of ours. I pm Flame about it and posting here too since any advice would be appreciated and tho wanting as much people to see this as possible.

When I log in at home I can see there are new posts, I can see who posted last and at what time. But when I open particular tread (or section) I can't see those new posts. For example on Secret Cerb Fetishes Jp's post was last I could see, even there were more after it. Whatever new tread was started I could/not see it either. I'm reading up from work....here I can see all the contects, posts, etc...

I don't use any cookies, firewall is same as it always have been, no other change in software/hardware....any idea what couses this problem? Or how to cure it? I know we all have reason to go to work, just wish mine wouldn't be that I can read forums (although doing more or less only that ;))

Sorry I didn't reply straight away, Tr. Was trying to think up possible explanations, but hmm... this really sounds so odd. Must admit the problems some people are having with the server and forum frustrate me as I usually can't do anything!

It almost sounds like the pages are being cached, but I should think this unlikely because these pages are not meant to, and even the session ID should prevent caching. At home viewing the Fetishes thread does it still not display all posts, or does it just take a day or so to refresh?

And is the page 'complete'? As in you would see Jp's post last and then the page footer + options, or does the page just end after that post?

Out of interest, have you tried the "View posts since last visit" option (near the top-right of the forum index)?

Pages have their footing, just no page forward if more than one page per post. I didn't tried view post from last visit. But I noticed here at work that although forums were "stuck" stuck for me, new posts/replies are marked as readed ( even tho I couldn't see them, seems it was enough I had logged on). As said I can view forums ok from work, meaning they should work ok. that would indicate there's some glitch with other software on home PC ( hard to tell for sure since up to 6 users at that comp at times).

And no swaet if you couldn't reply sooner, we know you're busy elsewhere and appreciate you're running this great service for us :).

Edit : Flame could you create new account and pm with name/password to test this on home PC ( can't do it myself due to e-mail).
