Forum: Bug Report and Feature Requests

I wonder whether it's something to do with caching. I've noticed instances where new stories/chapters appear on the Home Page before the New/Updates pages, and before they appear on the authors' pages.

I don't understand about the timestamps - to me, the new stories and updates seem to have the same timestamps irrespective of which page they appear on and when.

Thanks.

It looks as though you're not the only one to notice the mysterious greying-out, although I have to admit I hadn't.

Depending on the settings you have for the forums and most of the website where the scripts run when you've viewed the information on a page the next time you refresh that page it shows the new stuff with a white background and the stuff previously shown as mid-gray. I see it all the time and the gray indicates it's been viewed by me before.

As to his comment on the time stamps, well, that can be a case of the different scripts running at different times for the updating of the different databases.

Yes I do have a Premier Membership.

I rarely look at the Home Page listing of new posts so I've never noticed the graying-out of previously displayed posts.

My first post was in regard to the portion of your post where you were referring to the New Stories and Updates pages and said:

The New Stories / Updates pages behave differently, stories / chapters are shown there even if the timestamps say they have only been up for a few seconds. If anything stories are not greyed-out when they should be, not a big deal.

Have you ever seen the stories listed on those pages grayed-out. I haven't.

The following isn't clear to me.

This is something which I have been noticing for quite a while now and it only affects the home page.

An example:

- I see now that a new chapter was posted at 17:16

- When I refreshed the home page at 17:21, that chapter was not shown.

- When I refreshed the home page at 17:49, it was shown "greyed out" because it had been posted before the 17:21 refresh.

Your OP was made at ‎4‎/‎1‎/‎2018‎ ‎9‎:‎03‎:‎04‎, so I conclude that your statement "I see now that a new chapter was posted at 17:16" was based on what you saw and means you are referring to a post made at 3/31/2018 5:16 PM (17:16) since the 3/30/2018 posts are long gone. The problem with my conclusion is, there is no 3/31/2018 5:16 PM (17:16) post on the Home page.

ETA: I have to conclude that in your example the times were not actual times but made up to illustrate what you recall seeing.

All times are local and we are on different timezones.

It is my understanding that all of the timestamps on the Home page are SOL's local time.
