it’s not updating last post read for when hit the ‘go to first unread’

apart from that, it’s embrassing that firefox on win-xp from a virtualbox on a debian jessie box is almost normal :oops:

Spent virtually all morning on the “Live Chat” with HostGator support, but there is no current resolution.

They seem to have an active issue with their Varnish HTTP cache, which may be the cause of this

I tried changing some of the cache settings in the site admin, but it looks like the http headers get overwritten my the ISP’s cacheing proxy’s etc.
So I don’t even know if there is a work around by changing some of the PHP.

As there are a load of other HG customers who have the same issue, some of whom have raised support tickets as well, I think sooner or later this issue will be resolved by HG but it may be a while before this reaches critical mass with HG.
i.e if this issue effects all PHPBB instances on HG it would be thousands of sites that were effected.

In the mean time, I’m afraid, you’ll need to keep pressing the refresh buttons, just to see the latest posts :-(

I just realised I posted that as admin (which is my alter-ego)

This problem makes for interesting posts… I keep being offered the thing I have just posted, as if someone else posted while I was composing my post… If I end up recursively posting to myself, someone give me a shake… :lol:

I just read my emials from the PHPBB forum, and more sites are experiencing the problem, but HostGator support denies there is a fault.

Sounds like HostGator has gone to the dogs, and I will need to find a new hosting company.

But as I have 6 domains, and multiple email accounts to move, its a massive job, so I hope that HG bow to pressure of numbers and fix this.

I guess the other option is that PHPBB release a workaround, but I would most likely need to upgrade to PHPBB 3.2 which could also cause problems

HostGator have rolled back an update on the physical server that hosts this site, and this fixed the problem for other people, but I’m not sure it fixed things for us.

I’m going some more testing now
