Say I edit a post. i then click "Submit" and it takes me to a screen that says
"your post has been submitted
click here to continue"
but i don't click there and i let my browser direct me there automatically. the post is updated and everything worked. but, if I do press "click here to continue", it takes me back to my unedited post.
not really that big of an issue, just thought i'd bring it to attention

Are you sure that's not simply your browser giving you the old page out of the cache? Did you try reloading the page?

yes it is cache, but that's beside the point
the link takes you to the cached post, not the updated one.

Doesn't happen to me - which browser (and proxy, if any) are you using?

You could try using https instead of http in case your provider has introduced a proxy that does funny stuff.

Interesting. Just noticed that I get the same behaviour here. (Opera-9.02, ISP=T-Online)
Really strange as the forum pages seem to have set all the usual "don't cache this site" flags. |

A lot of proxies will not honor those flags, especially the kind used by ISPs. One of the reason to use a cache killer in your URL when you create a transactional site.

That's why using https should work in such cases - unless of course your provider proxies https as well, which usually ends in a wrong certificate being presented.
edit: Also no one usually does that anyway, unless some company has some really strict policies and want to inspect traffic.

Using https worked for the first edit but then the same error occured.
But using firefox-1.5.0.9 it's always working.
So seems really like a kind of browser bug to me. |
