Am i missing a setting somewhere ???

[kes]

Hello all,

just a quick question....

I have just bought Vb the other day and installed it all correctly and its working fine.

Cept the posting, when someone makes a post it redirects them to the post made so they can see it, but when you go to look on the homepage or threads it does not appear for about 5 mins.

Yes it was all uploaded inh ANSII with the images on Binary - and i have no mods or plugins.

just the standard forum!

The posts and threads are not moderated.

Add No-Cache HTTP Headers - set to no
Update Thread Views Immediately - set to yes

I'm assured by my hosts (webfusion) that there is no server issues.

so why is it taking so long ? is there a setting to slow this process down somewhere ?

so frustrated with it now!:mad::confused:

plz help

thanks

There could be several things that may cause this.

This can be cause by the browser using a cache from it's stores even though you have told it not to. They Update Views is that instead of waiting and doing a once every hour or so, it will add to the "Times Viewed" immediately.

This would most likely be a topic that the vBulletin Support team would help with. Posting at vB.com would give you the best results, unless they sent you here to ask it.

Ive tried what vbulletin.com said to do and it didnt work which was.

re-upload in ANSII which i did
and disable plugins - which i have not got.
test for suspect file versions - which i did

Now there saying its my server - which its not

I have a free phpbb on the exact same kind of sever without this problem!

I thought paying for a better program would be even better, but its just ending up a headache.

Any other suggestions ?

:(

Do you have a test user account that we can check this out with? Are other users noticing this also?

[kes]

Ive just made a temp user

site : www(dot)forums-xbox(dot)com
user : test
pass test

Ive only a few members so far, so no-one saying its an issue.

Let me know

What happens if you set the No-Cache header to Yes?

[kes]

It was set on yes with this problems and someone told me to set it to no to see if it solved it.

yet not solved

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Start by putting it back to Yes.

Something is strange. New threads do show on forumhome/forumdisplay, but it seems with a few seconds delay for some reason. Can you tell a bit more about your server config?

[kes]

What do you need to know about server config ?

Im not really too clued up on server stuff

No cache header now set back to yes too (what does this do?)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

It should avoid caching of the pages.

As much server info as possible: webserver used, OS, cahcing or OP-code caching used, etc..

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Changing the No-Cache option seems to have resolved your issue.

WAAAAHHHEEYYY - thanks Marco!!

Perfect

Just one more quick thing......

on the short posts like what youve just done - the users info box is wider. (the grey area)

How can i make it fit snug upto the username ?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

That is a design/styling issue, not my thing but i am sure someone else can assist you with that.
