Daniweb caching gone bad

Hi Dani,

For some reason, I'm always getting the cached or old version of a given page. E.g. clicking on the CP link shows me a thread which was recently bumped in the C++ forum. After I added code tags to the post and moved it to a separate thread, I'm still getting the same notification in my CP in the subscribed thread list div box.

Can you look into this? Anyone else facing the same issue?

Same here. User-control-panel is really messed up.

[edit]

Just started cleaning up the double threads and posts because of this problem. But too bad I can't see which thread I've already deleted :S

Me as well, very confusing to say the least.

OK, just to help out others who are facing the issue, a force refresh for some reason is fixing things on my end, at least temporarily. E.g. if you want to view the latest CP, visit the CP link and press "CTRL + R" or "CTRL + F5" (force refresh, at least in Firefox).

OK, since CTRL + R seems to fix this, it seems more like a issue with HTTP headers. The suspicious one is the "Expires" header which is pointing to a future date for this page request...

We were working last night adding caching for CSS and JS files. Looks like the wrong effect occurred!! Getting James on this right now ...

Just got in touch with James. This should be fixed. But anyone already affected, please clear your browser cache.

Clearing the browser cache is one of those miracle cures that nearly always works, and indeed worked for me on this occasion... :)

Also had the problem - said token had expired. Cleared cache, but had no effect. Odd.

That was yesterday. A-OK today.

There are still problems here. I logged in this morning and clicked on the "Today's Posts" link and got the 'No Matches' message.
I proceeded to click on the 'New Posts,' 'Unanswered Threads,' 'Threads I've Posted in' and 'Threads I've Started' and got the exact same message. 10 minutes later all was well.
Logged in again this afternoon and am having the same problem again.
I cleared my cache with no improvement.

Very odd. Does it happen both while logged in and not?
