Forums → Support Forum → I can only see new comments if I'm signed out.

Maybe the person who posted the comments deleted them? (Can you do that? :P)

I have the exact same problem everywhere on this site.

When normal refreshing don't work, forced total refresh (CTRL-F5) usuall do.

Temporary Codename: Hidden Comment Glitch

I shall now test my profile for hidden comments. Here are two screenshots for the test.

Signed In:



Signed Out:



Logging out produces no new comments for me. I'd say it's a caching issue, but you have received no comments in the last hour or so. As a result, my test is inconclusive, and you should post a screenshot of the comments you see when you're logged in and when you're logged out.

Better yet Patrick you could just go to my profile and sign out and see for yourself so I don't have to go to all the trouble of giving a picture a URL.

It might very well be a caching issue. And that's what I think too. The thing is, this problem happened for me since the very first day I visited the boards on this site and it doesn't happen elsewhere.

I could very easily reproduce the issue on my end (i could do it right now) but giving you screenshots will show you absolutely nothing because there is nothing to see. What usually happen when I post something on this board is that the page is reloaded but not refreshed and the post doesn't show. This post I'm typing won't (usually) show up after I'm sent back to the thread unless I refresh it.

Then going to the specific subforum of the post (in this case support forum) will show my name as the last poster of said thread but won't move that thread up as the last thread to have been updated by a post.

All in all, a quite puzzling bug.

It is a whole site issue if you ask me.

And I would not be discussing it if I didn't think they were related.

This could very well be a side effect from the already exsisting caching problem as hard refreshing normally updates the page and shows posts/comments. This one seems pretty much similar to a caching problem as it refuses to show comments except when loggin off...

To clarify a bit... did the comments stay when logging in again? That's something I couldn't determine from any of the posts about this... could be vital in how to see the problem. =)

Well the problem seems to have been fixed, at least for me anyway.
