I think you've got a cache problem. Sometimes my posts don't show.
You need to press Ctrl + R. This will force the page to refresh and your post should then show correctly.

I get exactly the same thing. Just as an example if I log on and look at forum posts it shows I'm logged on my user name appears in the list of logged on people.

If I then decide to view the gallery it shows me as not logged on until I use the refresh method as described by Graham then all is ok.

Very seldom any posts I make actually show until I refresh the page

I get exactly the same - I find I have to refresh the gallery all the time just to get the view updated. I haven't noticed it so much with the forums tho (unless I hit the refresh button just out of habit!). I've cleared out my caches and history etc. but it still happens. It's a pain doing it twice every time, but you get used to it in the end

I cured my problem by using Firefox. Of course, you may already be using it, in which case that's no help!

I still find I have to refresh every time I visit the gallery, even using Firefox. Otherwise I simply see the version from my previous visit.

I think I'll notify Stu of this thread.

I had a similar problem a while ago. I was advised to clear my cookies, which I did and the problem was sorted. I haven't had any problems since.

How do you clear your cookies please.

2dogs2000 · #11 (**permalink**) 16-03-2008, 08:56 PM

On your tool bar at the top of the page click on tools, go to Internet options and then delete cookies.

Did you press Ctrl + R? Your post is there, there's been comments on it. It's purely your computer isn't showing the latest updates automatically. By Pressing Ctrl +R you force a page refresh, which should then show the post.

I use Safari (Mac) - I've emptied cache, cleared cookies and history - makes no difference, I still have to refresh every time to see the updated view.

Funny thing is that it's only started doing this recently - in the last 4 weeks or so, in fact

.

A thread was raised recently on a similar subject (link below) - I started it on 16th Feb as I had a problem on visiting the Gallery, then other people chipped in with problems they were having which fit in with this thread.

Yes, it's a minor peculiarity of this forum that you need to refresh to see an up-to-date screen - it's not automatic. You can use CNT-R as mentioned but I.E. and most other browsers have a refresh key (on IE two little green up-down arrows).

With regard to clearing cookies - this has its downside if, like me, you forget your passwords, user names &c. Clear cookies and you have to re-enter these every time ......
