It has to be something with the browser then.

Two mobile devices, two PCs and several different browsers do the same thing but as I mentioned it seems to clear up eventually. As an IT and Web programmer myself, it seems a bit it a mystery to me too which is why I mentioned it!

It could be something to do with the HEIC to JPEG conversion that is done somewhere along the line and possibly the use of the JPEG extension rather than JPG. They should be the same thing and equally compatible but I’ve found imaging applications that won’t open a JPEG until it’s been renamed. For me, I usually upload from my iPad so maybe the device itself does the conversion and if so, that could be a clue if something was recently changed significantly in iPadOS although my iPad is too old for any recent versions.

I use Brave for browsing and do tend to keep its blockers on and browse the site not logged in, only logging in to comment/post.

Kev, I am curious about an issue I have with the recent posts section showing sometimes days old posts. This seems to happen on a fairly regular basis because I have it occur almost daily and sometimes more than once. It even happens after clearing the cache. Got in the habit of doing the clearing a couple of times a day but even then sometimes it doesn't really help and can take two or three refreshes before the most recent posts appear in the recents section.

Here is an example of how it displayed on the first visit a few minutes ago




and here is how it appeared correctly roughly 30 seconds or 2 refreshes later.




Am using the latest OS and version of Safari on the Mac. I don't routinely use the Firefox browser enough to know if it happens on it. Is there something unique to Safari or does something really significant have to change on a page for the browser to know to get a fresh page

It might be unique to Apple browsers. I never see that on Chrome (iOS, Android, PC)

Possibly but I believe both Chrome and Safari use Web Kit as the building block for the browser although am sure Google and Apple customize it to have their specific features.

I do my browsing mainly by cell phone- Android with Chrome. Have seen this sort of thing occassionally. I just leave, come back later, and its OK.

Something odd for sure as what you posted in that first photo are the most recent topics in the Shows and Events forum. Where it should be showing most recent across all the Forums.

I'll take a look tomorrow. Perhaps there is a corrupt index in the database or something.
