Re: Bug in Forum software?
In Response To: Bug in Forum software? ()

Does this happen only after you post a message? If so then Derek is probably right. For performance reasons, browsers usually check a particular page for changes the first time you open it. Then it stores the page in your internet cache. When you go back to a previous URL, it uses the cached copy. To avoid this, you can do as Derek suggested and hit the "refresh" button, or you can change your browser settings and have Netscape look for changes every time you load a page. It will be slower, but you will get the most current page this way.

I have experienced the same thing, but it occurs every few days. Therefore, I believe that the "keep pages in history" setting on my browser has expired, so I see old messages as "new" messages. This occurs in both Netscape and IE, and it also happened before Derek recently upgraded the forum software.

: After I post a message, and return to the main
: message listing, lots of messages which
: aren't "new" are flagged as
: "new".

: Running latest version of Netscape on Mac, BTW.
