it must be some browser specific stuff

i have no problem on an ipad using safari.
i have no problem with a tablet running android 4.4 and chrome.

Thanks Rick

That explained why my old iPad was OK.

I will try running up Safari on Mac OSX El Capitan

I read somewhere that Chome made some changes to speed up web site loading by changing the way things were cached, but I wasn’t sure if that had been deployed.

I know Firefox has updated several times recently, but I didnt see this issue yesterday and I don’t think FF updated today

actually never mind, it doesn’t kick me out to the login however, it is showing post as unread even after i’ve read them

I’m seeing the same issue in Internet Explorer (which I’m now posting this from)

So it doesn’t look like a browser thing, as I only do Windows updates manually, and have not done any for several days

I don’t get kicked out, I just get the problem with notifications and PM’s showing numbers when there are none :-(

Linux + Firefox here – same issue, therefore not browser, not OS.

Thanks Andy

It looks like I’ll have to load a fresh copy of the original install files onto a different domain and try the backups from a few different dates (well mainly today and from 2 days ago, prior to the last change – to add the new section)

Strangely, now my PM count has dropped to zero, when it was stubbornly sitting at [1] all morning despite there not being any unread PM’s

Currently there has been no new activity (which isnt unusual, as most of the world is asleep during my work day), so the unread posts is correctly showing nothing.

Cheers

Roger

Edit.

No. Its still paying up, I had to refresh to get this page to show this post, after logging out and in again.

This is very strange, it smacks of some sort of network caching issue.

Stranger and stranger. If I refresh this page I see my earlier post. If I refresh again, its gone… refresh again… back… If I mark all forums read, it appears to work.. refresh the page… lots of unread stuff .. refresh again… different stuff.. refresh again.. the first list.. as if we are multi-hosted and there is a problem with the sync of the hosts, or we are hitting different versions of a cache somewhere. Very odd

Even more stranger: it worked really fine from the PC of my working place, but not working from home PC…
I also suspect to be some caching issue, as Roger said.

Rick Kimball Thu Feb 02, 2017 6:20 pm

The search.php? url seems to get its results from my disk cache instead of re-validating the page from the server.
Maybe you could change the override the Cache-Control response to prevent caching. Right now it is setting the
max-age=604800 .. a week. If i append some random argument to the end of the url query say ‘&random=1234’ it
forces it to rerun the search.php on the server and I get the latest posts

Ah… that makes sense. Check your time and date settings, check ntp if you are running that, restart the web service to ensure it has the correct time and date. I suspect it is sitting somewhere in the future, and this is confusing some browsers.

I removed the cookies in my browser associated with the stm32duino.com domain
(Click the (i) next to the URL, Site name ->More information -> cookies ->Select cookies -> remove the (three?!) cookies. )
This appears to (temporarily?) fix the issue. Let me do a bit more testing, but I think this is a time/date/ttl issue.

BTW

My old iPad 2 still works absolutely fine ;-)
(Still running iOS6, jailbroken.)

Guys

Is this still broken??

It looks like HostGator may have fixed it already
