From: csherlock@ljh.com.au [mailto:csherlock@ljh.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 10:46 PM I find that I'm updating articles and the changes are not always being reflected straight away. Has anyone else been having this problem?
Yes, quite a lot. It makes me think about developing my own off-line editing software, just so I can see my changes.
Has anyone written or tried anything along these lines, that's good for when the lag becomes annoying?

Odd, I've never noticed this. A shift-reload always gets me the latest version every time I've tried...

This has happened to me three or four times over the last week or so. It's also been mentioned a few times on IRC over the same period. It's not something I've seen before - but it seems to be an increasing problem at the moment. As others have said, forcing a refresh or clearing my cache doesn't help. But using &action=purge does (not a solution in general of course)
I've copied this to the tech list - it seems more their area than the en list.

I have a problem in that I never know which version of the Main Page I'm going to get. And it isn't always the most recent version I've seen -- sometimes it's the Main Page from two or three days ago, and I've seen more recent versions than that. It makes no sense at all.
Another problem I've had only a couple of times is that I'll click on a link to bring up a page and only half of the page will show up. I have to edit the page, which then shows the entire content in the edit window, and save it without making a change -- then I'll get the full page.

A problem with this, especially if you use a word processing program instead of a text editor, is that special characters, especially quotation marks, come up garbled when they get pasted back.

This happens quite a lot with M$-Word and other M$ software.
I am so happy I run KGX and my editor is Kate.
