Who is caching?

Wavebourn · 24th January 2012, 07:58 PM

When I click on links on the main forum window to read latest messages in threads, I am coming to the thread, but about 3 hours before the latest message.

Who is caching such a way: forum software, or Comcast?

Here is the example:

It suppose to lead me to the new post, bot goes few pages before it.

It is certainly not my browser: I did "rm -f *" in the Cache directory, it changed nothing. The link is getting rewritten, with post number added to it.

This may be a bug I encounter from time to time. go into usercp/edit options and change your posts per page setting to a lower number and try again (assuming it isnt on the lowest). After it's displayed properly you should be able to change it back

It was set as "Forum defaults", I set as 20, it did not help.

No, something is rewriting URL: on the main page they did not contain post number, after I click I see that they are added, but numbers belong to quite old posts.

Is it taking you to the last post you read? That happens to me.
Edit: I just doubled checked and it is taking me to whatever thread was posted at about 4PM. Only to earlier if nothing was posted after 4PM today. That's about the time I got on this afternoon.

No, it is taking me to the first post I read after some cache somewhere got expired.

I believe it is some provider "accelerates" the network screwing down it's purpose.

Tried from work, very different provider. The same result.

Something is wrong on your side.

takes me to this post which is around the time I went off line this morning. (It's 12:57PM here at the moment).

wintermute · 25th January 2012, 01:02 AM

after viewing the next page in the thread, and closing that tab, I came back here and clicked on the link and I now get this post which at the time of this screen shot was the last one posted in the thread:

So if there is a problem with the forum it is not universal....
