Lately when I log in, I have to refresh my page to have the forum recognize my credentials. It's done this in both Chrome and Firefox from two different endpoints.
It's not big deal at all and may only be a local issue for me, but I'm reporting in case there was a change. This has been the case for me for about 2 weeks after cache clears and logouts. I have no issue if I stay logged in, but it happens if I log out or clear cache.TY
I had been having this issue for months before I discovered a "fix" in my case a couple of days ago. I use Firefox:
- type in 'about:config' in your address bar
- type in 'browser.cache.check_doc_frequency' in the search bar
- change value from 3 to 1.
I read that this changes how often FF refreshes the site's cache.
- 0: with each opening of FF
- 1: with each site access
- 2: never refreshing cache
-3: automatic
It could cause your browser to take a while longer to load sites but from my experience this is rather negligible.
My guess is Mozilla messed around with that algorithm in their last updates and it's not really refreshing at all when set to 3. This drove me nuts for a while because everytime I forgot to refresh a page, especially here on the forum, I occasionally would miss words in my edited posts because they weren't saved yet.
