Post edits are still not displaying properly

I couldn't find the topic in which someone touched on this a couple of weeks ago, but this is still happening.

Someone will edit their post after posting it, and their edit will not display unless the reader replies or edits, meaning you can often miss these edits.

IIRC this issue was ignored last time it was brought up. As an example-

This Link. I can only see DM Dan E's first line-

"Nice. That puts you firmly on to the positive side. I'm interested to see if Grall continues his attempt at a streak or goes for average."

When I go to edit my post as Sajan below, I can see the rest of the post that was not there until I edited.

"Loot from the priest.

- Masterwork Morningstar
- Heavy Wooden Shield (magic)
- Multicoloured (and foul smelling) cloak (magic)
- 1 potion
- 1 scroll of resist energy (hilariously the priest didn't quite get to finish his buff cycle and make himself immune to the repeated burning disarming).

The sack had a number of cunningly devised hollow spearpoints made out of some kind of ceramics. They were evidently designed to screw onto the spear shaped pole one of the gnolls had. Together they seem to make some kind of injection device, the tip of the point disperses the liquid inside the head. Several of the spearpoints are empty but two are filled with some kind of liquid. One is a thick milky liquid while the other is a blackish goop. They appear mundane rather than magical.

Spellcraft to identify the magic."

I have noticed this too, at times. Usually the post will fix itself after some time (I think it took about an hour the last time I saw this happen). One big problem is that the person who made the edit sees the post as it should be, and won't realize that others can't see the edited part.

Edit: I see that post linked above as it should be. I'm guessing this might be related to the viewer already viewing the thread when the post or subsequent edit are made..

Yeah we haven't had a chance to revisit this problem just yet. It has to do with invalidating cached values on a per-session or per-instance basis. In this case I think it's per-instance.

Fair enough, sorry to nag I just couldn't find the previous thread and wasn't sure if it was considered resolved.

Over the past couple of days, I've twice noticed that even edits I made myself can not always be seen when I visit the thread again later (even though originally I do see the edit). Not sure if that helps in any way to pinpoint the underlying issue, but it's at least a piece of information :)

Edit: The edit showed originally, then I closed the browser session. When I came back, the edit didn't show. After having closed the browser session again, and then returned, the edit now shows again.

I've had this problem twice in the past 2 days.

Using Firefox 3.6.18, edited posts by others do not show up as edited despite refreshes or shift-refreshes or even closing the browser and re-opening.

In particular, this post reads as:

"Horrors-Shade avatar

Initiative
Atol - 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
Dyrant - 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Glimmil - 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Finneas - 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Silfir - 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11
Dark cloaked figure - 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

When if I reply to that post, I get the full, updated post:

Initiative

Atol - 1d20+0
Dyrant - 1d20+7
Glimmil - 1d20+3
Finneas - 1d20+6
Silfir - 1d20-2
Dark cloaked figure - 1d20+2

As Finneas reaches for the secret door during the surprise round a crossbow bolt strikes Finneas squarely between the shoulders and he drops to the ground back at G7 with a gasp.
1d20+6
1d20+6 - Confirming Crit
Damage 2d8

Those in the room can look up to the balcony above I6. There is a banister providing cover to a dark cloaked figure.

Thanks.

Any word on this one?

Not yet. We've been focused on cleaning up some other stuff for Gen Con.

If it helps I've run into it as well.

Someone posted a placeholder and it's all I see unless I hit reply. Then I get to see the whole thing both in the reply post AND above it in the normal spot. However once I've left that screen, all I see is the old placeholder not the full post.

Hitting refresh, clearing the cache, etc. do nothing to help.

Hope this helps.

Still seeing this tonight. I edited in the list of initiative order at the bottom of this post, and another player on the thread at the time could only see the pre-edited version, even after refreshing.
