refresh doesn't seem to be working on new boards

[Zenon]

Well, when I returned to the Meta forum this post became invisible. If I navigate using the "previous thread" or "next thread" buttons I seem to be up to date.

Let's see what happens when I clear the temporary internet files...

Same here. If I use the hyperlink to get to the Forum Home, I see all the new posts listed. However, if I use my 'Back" button, no refresh.

Yep. Deleting the temporary internet files will allow the board to refresh for me. But only once- if I want it to refresh again, I have to delete the temporary files again.

Kind of a clumsy way to do it, isn't it? I wonder why Ctrl-F5 doesn't work? A little sign comes up saying "refreshing completely", but it doesn't.

Oh well. There are lots of smart people on these boards. Eventually someone will figure out what the problem is.

I can see the thread after I post- it's when I return to meta and then click the thread again that I find the old, un-updated thread.

Ok, here's some info that might help:

I noticed that my old bookmark for the boards was http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/

Going to that URL give me the non-refreshing issue when I use the back button.

However, if you change the URL to the new one of http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/index.php?

Then using the back button and opening/closing the browser appears to give me refreshed data on the Forum Home page.

Try that.

Nope. The only way I can see my new post is by cycling through "previous post".

Nope. The only way I can see my new post is by cycling through "previous post".

Only way I can get a refresh is a forced refresh (ctrl + f5), deleting temporary internet files is basically the same thing as there is no cached page to partial refresh from.

It's still not picking up the differences between updates to the page.

Just wanted to chime in, I have the same problem. Using IE6 in Windows XP SP1. Tried Mozilla Firebird, same problem.

Hmm. The boards seemed to be refreshing for me this morning when I first got here, but now I'm back to forced refresh.

Same problem. Windows XP, IE6
Boards are very slow this morning too.
