What's up with the forum cache and post lagging?

[Zimmy]

Just wondering why I've made 2 posts in a thread on Ski Gabber and each has taken over 1/2 hour to appear.. (the 2nd is 40 minutes and counting)

Is a cache at work, because this happens rarely, perhaps there is a problem?

I think it really reduces the usability of the site. It lowers the flow and increases frustration, and encourages accidental double and triple posting.

it's a filter set just for you, so no one has to read your garbage uniformed posts

Its the karma system and other parts of the site doing daily updates, i notice this pretty often as wel around this time of night. I would like to see if we can push this time frame later, but were in the middle of a bunch of updates so it could take some time to change.

Something's up in that thread (or maybe I'm doing it wrong), there's a Page 5 that I can't get to without typing the URL;

Was this around midnight you noticed this?

as Heath said it's related to karma. We really need to fix it.

Yeah, there's probably a cache at work somewhere, there might be multiple caches conflicting. Anytime you see multiple identical posts, that's the problem.

No it has nothing to do with a Cache. Its 100% the Karma calculation running each night and slowing the site down. We keep pruning it to make things useful, but it grows out of control rapidly. We need to make a major change to the Karma system and it'll completely go away.
