Tried this solution with firefox?
It disables the caching so it should work:

It's basically that the browser keeps feeding you the cached page rather then to get the actual page.

In order to "fix" this you need to disable http caching.

Go To about:config
(type it where you type in web addresses)

Then search for:
network.http.use-cache

And set it to False.
Now press (ctrl+)F5 or restart your browser and FireFox should be showing you pages AS THEY ARE.
(and not anymore as they were)

Hope this will end the endless repeating of this in the ChatBox. :)

The problem is that this fix will affect every site, not only this one, and i have no problems with other sites.

Indeed. My connection at my aprents house is incredibly slow, browsing without any cache would make everything even slower.

Edit: Even Internet Explorer 9 is affected. Ughhh...

Indeed the only solution we currently have is a huge overkill, browsing without cache is a huge step backwards.

That's all there is:

Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache"> 

<meta http-equiv="PRAGMA" content="NO-CACHE">

<meta http-equiv="EXPIRES" content="-1">

I guess the problem is because the forum uses the website login--surely through one of those Kosta & Studentis hacks--and the website displays the forum inside a frame. The forum pages have those metas, but the website pages don't.

My actual "workaround" is using Opera as alternative browser. Seems like it displays the forums as it should be. For now ^^

At least I can confirm the report that I've never had problems with Opera, for what it's worth. Although I always enter through http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum?ur....php?do=getnew and then I open each thread in a new tab, thus getting rid of the frame, then I mark all as read in the first tab with frame and close it. I know that if I'm inactive too long I get logged out and I can only log back into the forum through a website page again.

Aha, a blast from the past.
Reminds me of the W3 and W95 times ...
We will not correct the bugs in our software, oh noes, you must screw your system settings to match our bugs and we don't care if it f*cks up the rest.

Tsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss........

*to be clear: not aimed at the staff here, I even think it must be really frustrating to report those things and rarely getting adequate respons or fixes.

I've sent another report today, I'll keep you updated.

I have stickied this thread because it keeps coming up again and again. If you're having issues with posts not showing in the forums and refreshing not working, you are most likely using firefox, and in that case, this is the fix for you, enjoy :)

It does this in Chrome too, I think you need a note at the top of the forum becuse I couldn't tell what the hell was going on!

If correct the current Forum updates will address this caching issue.
Please report any (still remaining) caching anomalies if/when they show up. :D

The situation is the same for me, no improvements :(
