Boards not updating for me without refreshing

[Darkness]

Since some days ago, I run into the following problem:

The EN Boards' main page, boards, and even every single thread, don't automatically update for me when I enter them. Instead, they appear to me like they were when I last visited them.
Only when I refresh a page does it show its the current contents.

But on two other message boards that use the same software (not sure about the exact version, though) as EN World and on which I have set the same user options as here -
bondetamp's Godlike forum and rpg.net -, I don't seem to have this problem...

edit - bondetamp - just like EN World - uses vBulletin 2.2.6 and rpg.net uses vBulletin 2.2.1

edit - Argh!!! The problem is even in the "edit post" window!

Salutations,

The only time this happens for me is when I have the cache-check option turned on.

I am not sure what browser you are using, but you may want to check the options for something along the lines of:

"Check for newer versions of stored pages:"
and have it clicked to "always" or whatever the equivilant is.

Good luck

Thanks, but alas, I already checked that - and they were (and are) on "always."

Also, this problem only crops up in EN World...

You say it happens on the main site and on the boards? That puzzles me, because the only thing they have in common is that they're both the same colour! They're on different servers and not linked in any way at all.

A couple of other people have reported problems like this over the last few months, but, to be honest, I can't help you. I can't think of anything that could be causing it. If anyone does have an idea, let us know!

Hmm- try clearing your cache and deleting your existing cookie for enworld. You will have to sign in again, but *shrug* a small inconvenience.

Nah, not the main EN World site; just the forums' main page.

I have exactly the same problem with every forum page.

And it's very very annoying

I have had that problem for some time.

Threads refresh if I click to enter them again, but the main forum pages do not.

I've mentioned this before in this forum...I have to clear out my browser's cache before I visit, or I just get the old pages from the last time.

It started to look like at was a only people who have Macs and use Netscape as their browser...is this true for any of you?

I just keep hoping it will magically go away. It did once before (back when we were having all the troubles, wich is when it started, too) but then it returned.

I had this problem a while back but deleting my cookies and temp internet files seemed to fix it, why I don't know...
