    I have made several updates on my posting. But it does not appear after I submitted the thread.

    Could advise?

    Are you surfing from the office? Some office firewalls implement a cache and may be serving you the old version of the page as the URL is still the same.

    To overcome this, press CTRL-F5 (should work on most browsers).

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Re: Update does not reflect in posting

    Just found it been uploaded in the main page. However, I did a try on another thread and found the same problem. It seems that it takes some time to appear. In the past, it normally uploaded almost immediately.

    You may check on another thread. "Riccia (carpet grass)".

    Re: Update does not reflect in posting

    Based on your description, it is what I described or similar problem. Your updates are being received and done as fast as usual. But one of the servers on the route to and from your PC and AQ is serving you cached pages. Probably someone just changed the cache settings on that particular server.

    In other words, there is nothing wrong with AQ itself. I get the same problem at my office. But all is fine at home. If you keep seeing old pages, do a hard refresh. To do that on IE, FireFox and Chrome, press CTRL-F5.

    If you are using Internet Explorer (IE), do this:

    Tools >> Internet Options >> under Browsing History >> Click Settings >> switch to Every time I visit the webpages.

    This step will bypass the master cache.
    =================================================
    How to temporary by-pass cache without tampering master cache?

    First you delete your history via Tools >> Internet Options >> under Browsing History >> Click Delete >> Check only Temporary Internet Files >> Press Delete. Close and Open your IE.
    =================================================
    With cache, pages and pictures load faster but only check updates after a day. Without cache, all materials will be requested from each of the hosting server. Hence, in layman terms means slow.

    These steps only clear the local cache. Many servers on the internet have their own cache. In a bid to reduce traffic through limited bandwidth, some organisations place a robust cache on their gateway or firewall.

    The cache that is causing the problem is the ones on the servers.

    Re: Update does not reflect in posting

    I'm an IT dummy so please pardon me. Is this about the posts updating not brought up to the top of list? I'm having that problem since yesterday. Some posts has updates today but remains in it's place of yesterday. My PC problem?

    You are probably referring to the marketplace. Not the same thing. For marketplace, we have set it to display threads based on their original post and not on updates.

    Re: Update does not reflect in posting

    can a simple Control-R to force reload the page solve the problem?

    I'm not familiar with all the browsers, but please be warned that these steps on some browsers may delete your cached cookies, passwords and form data.

    In layman terms: if you are used to having a particular website remember your user name, name and other preferences when you visit it, clearing cookies may cause them to forget you.

    For the problem raised by the thread starter, CTRL+F5 and CTRL+R will suffice.

    The solution below provided by Blue Whale may make loading of pages slower and increase your use of bandwidth. If you are on a limited bandwidth package, this is NOT a good idea.
