For me, Safari under Mac OS 10.5.1 frequently doesn't show all the posts in a thread. The forum may show, say, 10 replies, but only 5 are visible. Camino and Opera both show all the replies. As a result, I think, often "View New Posts" will show updated threads, but viewing them only shows the older posts I've already seen and not the newer ones. I normally surf with all client side scripting turned off (i.e., no JavaScript, Java, Flash, etc.), and at first I thought that might be the problem. But no, even with all that stuff turned back on I see the same problem. I've never seen this on any other forum, even ones that use the same forum software. Very strange. Anyone else? Any fixes? Thanks.
It isn't just Safari... I'm on a PC using Firefox, and I've discovered that I have to force refresh (CTRL + F5) the page to see an entire thread. For some reason, the site is caching pretty hard.
I've actually had "View New Posts" give me zero threads, saying no threads have been updated since I last visit (mostly cause it thinks it's yesterday when I Marked All Read). Anyway, all I did was delete the PC cookie and then logged in again and it solved the problem. See if that works for you.
Rae Vynn, I think you've got it, and my bad for not figuring this out myself. When I emptied Safari's cache the missing posts appeared normally. I haven't had a chance to test this, but I suspect Camino and Opera were working only because I hadn't previously used them with PC and so they had no cached pages. Could it be that the PC forum software is instructing browsers to hold onto cached pages too long? Maybe one of the moderators should look into how caching is set on the new software? Thanks.
Same problem for me running Firefox 2.0 on linux. I think you are right about the cache. I've been fighting this for a few days. Thanks for the idea for the work-around, although this is something that should be fixed on the server side. Tom
Both Safari and Firefox. For a while every time I opened a post it automatically refreshed, I.E. I could see all of the new replies. I noticed a day or two ago that there appeared to be no new replies. Then I started refreshing and voilá, new replies. I stopped using Safari and switched to Firefox for a few days. Same thing. I guess I have to refresh in both until whatever it is is fixed.
Danny mentioned he's aware of the issue and will be working on it this weekend, i think. so hang on, it'll get fixed.
