  • Editing posts - I've made a couple of amendments to a sale thread, however when I go to edit again, my editing box seems to show a previous version from this morning, even after Alt+F5'ing. Maybe it's a browser thing? (IE11)

    Attachments show the edit box (and attachment previews) and the thread as it is currently, which do not match-up...

  • When you edit... do you user the browser's back button to go back to edit it, or do you visit it again and then click edit?

    I've just looked and it seems fine. And that is loaded server-side and is loading the correct version. From my viewpoint it's fine. But... if you user the browser's back button, that isn't "visit a newer version of this page you visited before" it's "visit the page before, as near as possible to how it was".

    The attachments are loaded via AJAX, so even visiting an old version would get the latest attachments, but the comment content is loaded server-side and so using the back button can instruct some browsers to use any cached version they already have in memory. Especially as the page viewing the old comment to be edited is fetched by a GET request.

    Rule of thumb: Never go back, go forward.
