I've noticed recently that threads I post on are showing as having new posts but when I go back to them I find I was the last one to reply and there's nothing new :mac1:

Anyone else getting this? :confused:

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.2 and ZoneAlarm firewall.

Not noticed this happening Chris :confused:

I've noticed this at times too, but find it is because I use the back arrow too often. Every now and then I refresh and it seems to work (I'm not an IT guru so I just push buttons and hit computer!)

Well I AM an IT guru LOL!

I've just tested it again and Internet Explorer 7 works fine, it's just on Firefox.

Refreshing the page doesn't work and I've switched off my Firewall so it's not that either :confused:

 

Are there any cache settings in Firefox? I can't find them.

Well I have pretty much the same setup at home, but no similar problems.

i had it when i had the firefox zone alarm combo, i got annoyed so im now now using ie7 and works fine. also had probs with youtube pages opening up in code and not gettin video streams.

 

have you tried doing a firefox update?

OK I've fixed it.

Seems to be the way Firefox checks for updated pages and updates the cache.

If you want to change it yourself here's how...

 

In the address bar type: about:config

In the Filter box type: browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

You should see the entry listed below with a value of 3 (Check for updates when page is estimated to be out of date)

Right click on it and select Modify.

Change the value to 1 (Check for updates every time the page is visited)

aha well played, nice one :)
