The way it should work is that when you switch from one page to another -- say from a thread to the Latest page -- you should see the most up-to-date version of the page that you went to.

If that is not happening for you -- if you are having to manually reload the destination page before it will show up-to-date information -- then that sounds like a problem.

I'm not experiencing this personally, and I've not had any other reports of this behavior, but if it started happening after we did the code update on Thursday/Friday then it is probably related.

I'll add this to the shortlist of items we need to take a look at to make sure everything is working as it should. Thanks for the report.

You're welcome. Thank you EarlG and Elad Bernardo de La Paz Aug 3 #2

Sorry, I was not precise on one point: It is when I use the browser back arrow or ALT-back_arrow. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 4 #3

Yes, expected behaviour on websites, but DU was better than others. It enabled me to maintain a stack more easily. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 6 #6

Thanks. Putting a meta tag on the Lastest, Home, Subs, My Posts, and the two main indexes (GD,LBN) would go a long way Bernardo de La Paz Aug 7 #8

I would not recommend an auto-refresher extension for the reasons you state EarlG Aug 7 #9
