It now happened a couple of times to me, and I'd like to let you know. If I delete one of my replies, and then hit the "reload" button (I usually do this, because I often see a chached page with my reply still in, and I want to make sure it's really gone before I re-type it), I get an error page. Sometimes it says that the whole threat was deleted (which is of course not true), and sometimes it reports a "access violation" by me which "got logged". I'm frightened to death everytime I read this... :-)

Hit the "Message listing" button, then open the thread again to see your message. -JH.

the access violation should have been fixed awhile ago.

Jeff, this is what I usually do, but I often just get the cached page again. Probably a fault of my browser, but I have to live with it... fur, I haven't seen it for a while as well, so you are surely right. But I got the message that the whole threat was deleted this morning. I jumped back to the top forum level, into the forum again, and then I saw it without the deleted reply (thankfully...)

might be a problem with your proxy, lobo was having troubles with his earlier. some proxies ignore the recommended caching method sent by this site.

Actually, I have my proxy connection permanently turned off, but I know that my ISP is doing stange things sometimes... As long as it will cause no damage to your board database, its no problem for me (but of course I wanted to let you know)

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY :-) The other thing you can do, is hold the SHIFT and CONTROL keys while you click the Refresh button. That tells the browser to always request a new page no matter what. See if that helps. This message will self-destruct in 5... 4... 3...

What would that be SHIFT and COMMAND on a Mac?

JeffH .. Shift, option I belive ...not positive though

Um, on a Mac, yes I believe you press the SHIFT & COMMAND keys, then toss the Mac out the window and buy a PC. :-D

I should better not start to tell you about my NIGHTMARES last summer when I tried to connect to pre-Renderosity from various Internet Cafes on PCs, until I found one with a Strawberry iMac that finally succeeded to send the password. Well, I don't know this shortcut, but all it is supposed to do is to RELOAD the page, and that means that exactly the same things will happen as with the reload button...!? PS: My ISP is Windows, blame them! :-)

Well there is a Reload and then there is a Reload. A normal reload doesn't always request a new copy of absolutely everything. Remember, your browser window is potentially full of lots of different things, the page, the images, java applets, active x controls, etc.

OK, I checked it, and as far as IE's help index goes, reload and reload are the same. The key would be F5, and CONTROL-Click pops up the context menu, offering (reload == reload) another time. SHIFT-COMMAND-Click does (nothing == nothing), which is interesting, because I thought that just every single chord you can hit does something these days, but... ...I discovered a GREAT thing which I had no idea of yet. If I OPTION-COMMAND-Click on a link, it copies a list of all links on that page into the page-holder without loading the page itself, and then shifts the page-holder open! This is completely off-topic and has nothing to do with this threat at all, but I'm really EXCITED... just one click and you can browse recursively through all links and sublinks, no banners, JavaScript, without ever leaving the original page! I'm probably the last person on earth who found out about this, but better late than never... :-)
