Lightbulb View New Posts

Hi there!

Well these are my problems: I mainly use fuction called "View new posts" so i can see new posts . But it is something wrong with this forum: I opened IE today went to simplylightwave.com and i saw that there are 5 new posts. I thought that i'll write my post first and then reading new posts i ll wait for replay to my thread. But when i finished writing i saw that there are no longer new posts. Yes, i know that i write slowly but not that slowl! It took me about three minutes to write that post.

Second problem:
when i want ot refresh list of new posts i use browser navigation button ("<-" back). Sometimes it works fine but most of the time when i click it and page with new posts should appear, new page is visible with "sorry, no matches. please try again, bla bla bla".

This is my FBS (Forum Browsing Strategy) and it works fine on every other forum i visit (4) but not here.

What is the time limit for this kind of stuff?

I hope that it is clear

But this forum is great w/ or w/o those "bugs"

Hey DybiosH,
I've been having the same problem. The way I've gotten around it is by opening the "New Posts" page, then right-clicking on each link and opening them in a new window. That way the "New Posts" page never has to refresh. Hope that helps...

That's sounds fine for little workaround
I must figure out what's going on here - is it on my side or is it really this forum's fault :p
