Cache issues: Seeing old discussions while navigating in the forum

Scolasticus

Hi,

I am wondering if you guys have experienced the same issue: I often see an old, cached version of the discussion page while browsing through my forum (currently on Beta 15, but also had this issue on 14.1). I am not navigating using the browser navigation, it usually happens when I push the logo to get to the homepage. Forcing a refresh via command+R fixes the issue for the moment, but it frequently happens. It is also not exclusive to the discussion overview, e.g. I am sometimes opening a discussion and get an old version of the thread.

I have this issue on Chrome v88.0.

Scolasticus You can try to delete cache manually in storage/views.

Scolasticus going to the home page doesn't force a reload no. So the state of the index compared to when you left it has not changed. Only on refresh or with a websocket extension (pusher or kyrne's) will see you new updates automatically.

Is this what you meant?

I assume that's not a permanent solution? I feel like something is not properly configured, when I always see old posts. Actually, this also applies to the notification bell.

Please post the output of php flarum info

luceos I am not sure, since I get really old discussions when I go to the homepage. When I click on the discussion, I am seeing an old version of the discussion (also when I reopen the same discussion multiple times). Only a reload on that discussion fixes it for the moment, but it even happens that I will later see a version of the discussion prior to the reload. This behaviour seems to be independent on the activation of Pusher. I am not sure how Flarum makes sure that you see current content but I assume that there must be a mechanism e.g. when you open a discussion that you should see the current version of it?

Scolasticus Are you using ReCache at all ?

[deleted] If you're referring to the extension: No, I haven't used that.
