When you modify a post often the new content isn't visible. Sometimes refreshing the page helps. At other times you have to refresh it many times before it updates.

I have this problem, too. I waited for one or two minutes, then refreshed the page.

This is an interesting one.
We're moving to a data replication system to spread the load and one of the issues is how do we ensure that what you post is what you see. We currently cache data (which in combination with replication will cause some complexity) and in reviewing some code we found a situation whereby new posts won't turn up.
The thing is we've never seen this actually occur in practice so we had a debate as to whether we should fix this latent bug now or move on with the system updates and fix it at our leisure.
You've just answered the question for us.

There is an additional phenomenon:
Say there is a post (or a reply) in VC++ forum being voted 5, so I see the title in red.
I switch to the Lounge forum, and switch back with the link VC++ forum (not by hitting the [Page Back] of IE). The vote to that post is gone!
And later the vote shows up again after several refreshes or page changes.

Page Cache perhaps. Kick your Internet Explorer Refresh button armed with the CTRL key clutched tightly.

I know this is seriooverdue, but I've put in place some changes that should make this less likely to occur.

Hello
When i go to the "Chapters", all links give me a "Page not found" error.
Can some confirm, or is just on my machine?
Thanks

I'm working on it, but as you know the problem is a tricky one. It's one of those things where you stare at the problem and still can't quite understand why it happens.

Rude. At least from India you get both knowledge resources and at times stupidity from novice developers. It is unfair to brand the entire nation for a few rotten apples.
BTW, how are you going to deal with China then? They are hellish bullies when it comes to plaigarising content.

It seems that article links point to old links which existed before cp upgrade. You can check by looking at the link of my articles and trying opening any of them.

But wouldn't that be a clutter for the ever-vibrant forum. Also, with the amount of hits the forum is recieving, a careful planning to avoid the following dreaded errors, famous in Windows servers.

Good day
I've noticed a topic on this forum can in no way change its position after it's been posted. Most forums automatically make your topic jump back to the top of the board when someone replied.
Why isn't this the case with this forum? It's sometimes annoying to have your topic at the sixth page, with someone that answered, and you answer back, but your topic keeps grounded to page six, between all those posted-one-day-ago topics  , doesn't really make sense. I don't think people will still digg up your topic when it's that far already, maybe only people that already replied to your topic because they subscribed to it as well.
Thanks in advance

The problem here is that abuse can happen and threads can be perpetually bumped.
Check the "Message View" dropdown and choose "Thread View" - that may help

Apparently most other forums found a way to avoid that. And it's not that hard. A posting timer, so you can't post every two minutes or so. And for example you can not post twice in the same topic without anyone else replying, or you can only double post after 24 hours of no replies or so. There are dozens of ways to avoid abuse. And you always have moderators to control everything.
Another reason why you get on a high page quickly, is because expanded view is default, many people won't change it to Thread View either because they don't care, or because they don't know the feature exists.

But this is what keeps forum discussions active. Not allowing quick reparte kills the atmosphere.
