At least the response is still quick!

I'm using Chrome, but I've tried FireFox, which at least gives me 2-3 seconds to view the post's contents before sweeping it away in a blank abyss to do the refresh.
Don't get me started on IE8.

As a work around try changing your layout to Expand Posts and Replies. YOu'll have to do more scrolling but all posts will be open so you will be able to read them as they download.

I noticed this behavior sometimes even in a fast connection. If we expand a forum message before the page getting loaded, whole page will refresh again. I don't think that problem is related to connection speed.

It isn't. There were a couple of threads a few weeks ago on this very topic, starting about here[^]

It's not, but having to wait 5 seconds to begin reading messages is a minor annoyance; having to wait 5 minutes is a show stopper.

Not able to see just posted alternate [modified]

I've just gotten an e-mail, telling me that an alternate has been posted to my tip/trick.
I was able to read the content of the alternate in the e-mail, but when I open the tip/trick, the alternate doesn't appear.

I checked the message at the top of this forum, and under 'Recent changes' it says

16-Jun-10	Regular users can't see tip/trick alternate just posted

When it's under 'Recent changes', it means that it should have been fixed, right?

I've tried Ctrl+F5 a few times, but it's still not showing up.

Edit: It's visible now, but isn't this still a bug?

The alternate was "pending", i.e. awaiting moderation. I made it publicly available, so it should be visible to all now.

IMO it is silly you're signaled but not allowed to see it; of course, you should be allowed to participate in the moderation process of an alternate to your own T&T.

I was actually considering if this was because of some kind of "approval" process, but as you said, the poster of the tip should be able to moderate his/her own tip/tricks.

Thanks Smile | :)

Sorry, this is something we overlooked. You should be able to moderate alternates of your own tip/trick. I've created a high priority task for it.

Wrong number of answers

In this thread (for instance)

http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/93613/fail-to-insert-data-into-access-from-sql-server.aspx[^]

It says that there are 3 answers. But two of those have been removed so there is in fact only one answer.

Nope. You either see three answers (a real one, and two deleted but still readable) or you see just one; it depends on you being signed on with sufficient karma or not. And the count reflects the number of answers you can actually see.

In this case, no. The count, currently, reflects the total number of answers. An over-zealous correction caused an over-correction. It will be fixed.

I object. When I logged out, the count (on the page itself) went down to 1. So it looks fine from here.

I don't see a way for me to get into that state; but even then IMO the count is correct. If I were to add an (almost) empty answer, it should increment the count too.

you can't just ignore and not count it as long as one or more of these hold true:
- it takes real-estate on the page
- it has metadata (author, date, ...)
- it may have comments
- it may have votes
- its content is readable to some people (not sure why that is, but it is).
