skip...

[dudeqwerty]

i got a notification email, but i only see my first post...

[Planet]

wow, that is weird what browser and version are you using?
Is this in a particular forum or all forums? Try any other vb forums?

[dudeqwerty]

ok, so i see the posts in IE6, but not in FF 1.5, it happens in the entire forum,

i dont know any other forums lol

[dudeqwerty]

wtf???? i see the posts in FF now ???????

FF is notorious for loading cached pages.

[dudeqwerty]

ah i see, well you know of any work-arounds?

[JPnyc]

Sorry, but no, I only use Firefox to check our sites display in it. I'm not that well versed in it's usage.

[Planet]

Yeah, download the latest version of FF. It should resolve the issue. Thanks for jumping in JP, I was about to ask you about it.

[JPnyc]

I'm not sure of that. From what I have heard 1.5 is more buggy than the prerelease versions.

[RUSHVision]

I was using Firefox 1.0.4 for the longest time and recently updated to v1.5.0.1 and I've never experienced this problem, personally. While yeah, I think v1.5 was a little buggy, v1.5.0.1 seems quite stable so far.

If it's a cache problem just hit Ctrl+F5 to force a reload from the server. I also have to say though, that not only have I never experienced a problem with Firefox only displaying cached pages, I've never heard of it being a problem.

A little feedback from a VERY satisfied Firefox user.

[JPnyc]

I get it a lot. Half the time a user complains about an issue with the forum using FF, it's most often that which is behind it. I deal with huge volumes of user issues across the forums. Like when I change an ad position and someone in the company doesn't see it, I find they're using FF. Or when I make some other change to the forums and my boss (also using FF) doesn't see it. This is a very common occurrence.

[RUSHVision]

Ok, this would be why. The default setting is for Firefox to check for a newer version of the page when the page is out of date and apparently the only way to change it (until somebody makes an extension that makes it available as a menu item) is to go into about:config and change the setting there.

thanks RUSHVision, it worked!

[JPnyc]

That's great detective work RUSH. Now the only problem is how do I get all the FF users to make that change!

make an announcement about it

edit:

actually its not working now, the posts arent showing again, im starting to think that it isnt a caching error, becasue it happens to threads when i view them the first time

[JPnyc]

I'd have to make it on each of 30 forums and send an internal email to everyone in the office. Something tells me I shouldn't do that.

[Planet]

Great catch Rush, I can mention it in next weeks nl.

[JPnyc]

Yeah but according to his edit, it hasn't really helped.
