Preview displaying outdated versions of threads? [more inside]
posted by staggernation to Bugs at 8:01 AM (8 comments total)

I posted a comment to this thread, then a couple of minutes later was posting again to correct a link. When previewing, I saw this. Note that it does not display a subsequent comment by kosem (10:50 AM) or my comment, the one I was correcting (10:51 AM).

This happened earlier with a different thread, too.

Yeah, I've seen this too, and initially thought Mattadmyn had deleted some comments.

Ditto, maybe an hour ago.

Yeah, it really bugs, especially as preview is used to make sure no-one's just made the exact same point you have in your comment area.

It's really annoying because part of the point of preview is to make sure you're not repeating what someone just said.

Ah, the caching of comments is handled differently on the preview page. I'll update it to match the comments page.

Should be fixed now.
