Hi Nyphadora - this still happening to you?

nymphadora · 07/08/2010 13:16

Yes but only on my phone. ( safari)

If I refresh I get the right page. I also have a huge White gap before convos

OP posts:
PrivetDancer · 07/08/2010 13:20

The big white gap is just because of the aaahhhhhhh (but a lot longer) thread title. Hide that one and you'll be back to normal.

nymphadora · 07/08/2010 18:10

Still got the gap & the weird refresh!

OP posts:
HelenMumsnet · 07/08/2010 19:39

Hmm, sorry to hear that, nymphadora. But stumped as to what to suggest

Might be worth posting in Site tech stuff - not sure if any of the Techs will be about this weekend but def worth a try...

nymphadora · 07/08/2010 20:42

On computer, hasn't done it so far...

OP posts:
nymphadora · 11/08/2010 20:56

Worse again tonight.

OP posts:
nymphadora · 13/08/2010 09:46

Back again

OP posts:
nymphadora · 25/08/2010 17:25

Back again but different set of threads now.

OP posts:
Tech · 29/08/2010 19:30

Hi Nymphadora, Is this still happening for you? Thanks.

nymphadora · 30/08/2010 07:51

Yes , set of threads from 23/8 at the moment.

OP posts:
Tech · 30/08/2010 17:22

Just to be absolutely clear - this only happens on your iphone, correct? Do you mind telling me which network it's on?

Thanks.

nymphadora · 30/08/2010 17:44

Yes. On O2. It's not consistent , will happen loads one day then not for a couple. Doesn't matter if it's wi-fi or 3G. No link with deleting history etc either

OP posts:
Tech · 30/08/2010 18:08

That is odd. Try clearing the Safari cache. Click the phone's main button to get the home screen, then tap settings, then Safari. Towards the bottom of the Safari settings screen click "Clear cache." You may have tried this already I guess, as you say you've tried clearing history.

Just fyi, caches save pages so that next time you request the page the cache can supply it and save you the time it would take to ask for the page again and have it delivered to you over the Internet.

But, when you request the Active Conversations page, our system sends back the page with headers saying, in effect, the information on this page expires immediately and is private. This means your phone shouldn't save the page (for long), and nor should your ISP / network cache - they should ask for a new page every time. In your case this doesn't seem to be working correctly - you are seeing pages that are a few days old. The most likely suspect for the fault is the cache in the phone itself, as you appear to be the only person seeing this behaviour.

Let me know whether or not clearing the cache helps. Thanks.

BitOfFun · 30/08/2010 18:13

I am getting this issue on my iPhone (O2) with Threads I'm On. Some days it jumps back to about a month ago!

nymphadora · 30/08/2010 18:15

I have tried clearing everything.

Thanks BoF, not just me then!

OP posts:
Tech · 30/08/2010 18:26

Hi there, We'll try a tweak on our side tonight, and see if that helps. Perhaps you could alert me if it happens again from tomorrow onwards?

Thanks.

nymphadora · 30/08/2010 18:39

Ok!

OP posts:
nymphadora · 31/08/2010 09:15

Just done it again ...

OP posts:
Tech · 01/09/2010 20:41

Hi nymphadora, If my caching theory is right, it might carry on happening for a couple of days while the cache forgets the page.

HOWEVER, if you ever get a stale set of Active convos, where the bad set have dates after 31-Aug-10 at about 8am, could you let us know as that means our fix didn't work.

Are you around today, and if so, have you seen any stale active convos? Anyone else?

Thanks.

nymphadora · 02/09/2010 06:21

Thanks

OP posts:
PaulineCampbellJones · 02/09/2010 06:24

Mine has just done it this morning. Went back to 1st September at 8am ish.

NorkyButNice · 02/09/2010 06:48

This started happening for me when I got a new iPhone 4 - it works fine on the laptop, iPad, iMac and my old iPhone.

DH (computer whiz and Apple obsessive) reckons it something to do with the way the new OS works. He did explain what he thought MN needed to do to fix it but I cant remember...will ask again.

nymphadora · 02/09/2010 07:18

Mine is 3GS on OS4 if that helps
