When deactivating caches for contents completely everything is ok, but there is told you should do this only for testing.
Because of this I'm interested in a solution for normal use.

I cannot duplicate the problem at all on my test site, so I can't really can't fix something I can't duplicate in the first place.

I have my cache time set to 5.

Do you guys have active sites where there is always someone online?

Lynne, where do you set that at? And yes, my forum always has someone online!

Set what? The cache time? It's on the Configure page.

Thanks Lynne, I didn't see that below the template name. (old age on the eyes, I am sorry) It's working perfectly in 4.1.9 now!

Sorry for my bad english. I'm using a german version so it is difficult to discribe the english version of vB.
Sorry, I do not mean the cache time in the widget configuration but in the vB configuration.
This is in "Server Settings and Optimization Options"
If cachhing ist disabled the widget shows always else it does not.

I tried with or without the plug-in from former versions, with and without TMS activated.

i also have an issue on 4.1.9 even after the update

you can view on my homepage at the top right

I see nothing on your home page except the ads.

It worked fine with 4.1.8, but with 4.1.9 I could only load the page some times.

When upgrading to 4.1.10. the Home page won't load at all. There is something in the Widget that has to be changed.

I'd suggest switching to a default style and seeing if you still have this issue. It works just fine on my default 4.1.10 site.
