Forum not updating unless manually refreshing?

[canadianrodder]

shibby2, I posted this a bit earlier on the VB support forum:

I have scoured the internet and have found bits and pieces relating to similar (if not the same issue) going back years.

Version 3.8.8

The issue: a few days ago (and never before that), my forum started requiring a refresh in order for new threads, new posts to show up, new posts results in "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." even after I added two test posts. People have been experiencing login issues where they appear to be logged in then not, etc.

This is happening at all levels: forumhome and down.

I also experienced this: "Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired. Please push the back button and reload the previous window."

Nothing has been disturbed or touched setting-wise at my end.

Any thoughts? I have read all kinds of threads on this in various places but they all end without any conclusive help.

This forum has been running trouble free since 2003.

Thanks for any assistance you might offer.
