Delays in posts appearing
 

It seems that there is sometimes quite a delay in submitting a new post/replying to an extisting one and it actually appearing on the BB. I have noticed some people have added their responces twice because it doesn't seem to have appeared immediatley the first time so they submit it again. The 'no of replies' counter is updated immediately and the thread moves to the top as expected but the new post is not there for a while. This did not used to happen, is it a caching problem?

My website

On Internet Explorer the thread page always seems to cache. To force the page to reload either:

Select tools > internet options > temporary internet files > settings > every visit to the page

or:

Press Refresh while holding down shift and control keys

BTW are you from Wanborough, Paul?

Hey Toby,
No I'm not.

CLicking on Refresh while holding the SHIFT key only is all that's needed - and it's a common problem on Bulletin Boards. It's not always the browser either, although T0bys suggestion is good - often it's the ISP caching the page "for you" to speed up the "browsing experience". grrrr
