Latest Post Blatantly Broken

rpgdemon · 09-29-2014, 08:01 PM

The latest post button has been blatantly broken for me since the forum reboot, and I'm wondering if it's been the same for anyone else? Whenever I click on it, I always get sent to the exact same post, no matter how many posts have been made, and no matter how many times I read it.

I saw you comment on that before, and I haven't been able to reproduce it. I click on it and get sent to the last post in the noted thread. I've tried it in multiple browsers (though not multiple machines yet) and both signed in and browsing as a guest.

Try doing the same, and try removing all NPF cookies and logging back in to see if that does anything for you.

Using Firefox, after clearing my cookies and cache, it worked for the next link that I clicked, but it appears to have ceased working once more. Interestingly, clearing my cookies did nothing, while clearing my cache seems to have fixed it temporarily.

Using Chrome, it worked perfectly, though I'm not sure if it would hold up to repeat trials or not. Not many people have posted since I tested it out, so it's hard to say what the deal is.

Using IE, and it's working just fine here.

Random latest posts on the front page listed in General or Community will send me to the middle of Krylo's old "Games I Have Been Playing" thread. I haven't noticed a pattern in when it happens, but the Interesting Internet Crap thread tends to be a common culprit.

Looking at where the redirects lead, it seems that the Forums have finally come to accept their one true lord and seek to direct you all into worship of my greatness.

I am unable to reproduce these random redirects so far on my end, so for now all I can suggest is to clear your browser's cache and any NPF-related cookies/history and refreshing. We did go through a DNS change and three database swaps across two servers.

Also try multiple browsers and see if it is consistent. If not, more weight to my above suggestions. If so, then there could be an issue on NPF's side or on one of the links in the connection between you and the server.

It may even be related to the server change; tokens were transferred but that doesn't mean the move was seamless and surely, to some degree, there will be hiccups. I would strongly recommend clearing cache and nuklearforums cookies, or logging out and back in to clear the login and read-forums information.

It would appear that every time I clear the cache, it works for one click, then continues always sending me to the exact same post per thread (The latest one, at the time I cleared my cache).

I can set up NPF to never cache anything, but I don't want to reload the entirety of everything, every time I go to a new page.
