Kev, can you see this?

You were presumably able to see your posts in this thread previously? I can't see anything obviously wrong with your account? Which web browser are you using and can you try a different one?

Ian

Kev · #5 06-08-12

No i can't but i can when i wasn't signed in

?

Example.The thread, lady with a sword, has a reply from me then reply from Peter but now when i sign in they are not ther but they show up in real time

.

They let me post them but the only way i can tell if i have a reply or if my post is ther is in real time or check my posts in profile??

I have fire fox and will try that now instead of IE,Hold on a mo please Ian.

That's odd - I often log in with both IE and FireFox - I use FF by default.

It sounds like a cookie issue - have you tried deleting DPNow cookies in FF?

Ian

Yep,I really haven't got a clue.

It was working fine yesterday.

Thanks for trying to help.

I will try with FF an IE tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks again Kev

Just for the record Kev ... I can see your posts in the sword thread.

you can also try to hold down shift key and press refresh page, sometimes the browsers don't update the page and show an old one even after simple refreshing.

Kev · #11 07-08-12

Throt,That has worked for me.

Thanks, Kev.

Still dont understand how a refresh can work but if i sign out the back in again it doesn't?

It's called web cache. To speed the surfing up your browser stores some stuff into comp. When you log on you are not exactly the same place as when logged out (one has login information in addition). Now your comp wants to be so smart and make things faster so instead of loading the new information from web it sees naah I have pretty new data on my disk for that page (or maybe even your proxy server thinks so).
You can clear the cache from somewhere under options menu or just hold down shift when refreshing.
How exactly the cache rules work I don't know, 99.999% of the time is everything ok and you won't even notice it but that 0.001% might get sometimes annoying.
You can get this issue more when updating a webpage and want to see if changes take effect - some servers have own cache and sometimes it will take several minutes for them to update. I have seen issue in another forum while trying to change a linked pic with a same name in a post - there were com, forum and web server cache.
So to see the update in forum you had to first delete the pic, refresh the web, upload another pic, then link it again and refresh forum - or change the name of a pic (what was more annoying to do).
