I've seen it before, but not normally for that long - just one page fetch.

[Fidgits]

yes, it happens more than you realise


What PH needs is a decent web application firewall with a single sign-on system...

yes okay, i just happen to sell one, but seriously, it'd solve a lot of PH's problems

Is it because of server muddling up peoples sessions?

How did it feel being an accountant stuck in a (1950s) time warp?!

The 'Apparently now i'm ewanm' thread is the main one on this topic and it's proving to be a bit of a bugger to solve as it does not appear to be happening in PH towers. It seems to be certain ISP servers further down the line are storing versions of pages and then forwarding them on, rather than looking at the PH servers each time.

You are not logged in as the other person, so won't be able to post as them or affect their account in any way, you are just seeing their version of a page. You are the first person to report it happening for more than one page at a time though. How many pages did it last for?

It was about 3 pages but to be honest i didnt count. Just remember it being for about 10 mins.

Are you sure that certain proxies are not interpreting the PHServerNode parameter as part of the "uniqueness" of the page? Have you tried enforcing a no-store directive? You also don't appear to be passing an ETag on the core forum.asp / topic.asp pages.

As I'll have to ask Pete, it is not really my area of expertise!
