Description
Approx. at the same time as the changeset [14735] was introduced and later applied to some projects, those forum web pages appear to be incorrectly/excessively cached. A lot of input can be found on msg boards threads BOINC dev: Cached project forum pages? and SETI@Home: Yellow pages still here!. Just briefly:
- An already multiple times displayed thread page must be manually refreshed, in order to be displayed as already read.
- Upon returning to the lists of threads, they do not reflect recently read or updated threads (with new messages). Manual page refresh is necesary to obtain a correct version from project server.
- If a recently visited and read thread is entered again (e.g. using a link from a notification email), it appears to be read (so the user can scratch his/her head and go somewhere else) and a manual refresh is necessary to display newly added messages.
The feeling is: it gets annoying. From the experience, the threshold interval (while the pages appear to be cached) seems to be many minutes.
