Well, i was scrolling SEN a minute ago, but I found a really strange bug. When I entered a topic I read a day or two ago, I saw shouts in the shoutbox that I remember from the same day [i was on SEN]. It's a really weird bug that I wonder if anyone else has encountered.
Yes I too, have also encountered this bug some time ago. But I usually hit "Refresh" and it goes away, no biggie.
Sometimes 'your' computer loads the page that it has remembered 'that time ago'.
For example, if I'm not online, I can still browse the staredit homepage, it's just that It is the browsing the 'staredit homepage' that I have been on the last time.
interesting, i've also encountered that "history bug" as i like to call it, when im at the page, where it shows all of the forums, i see members on, then i go to another area from the navigator, such a zerg pets or the tricks and tips section, well after i go back to the forums page, and it has completely different members and shots and times, its really weird, like it will have no birthdays for the normal one, and then like 4 after i go back to it, the "history bug" is so weird
Because SeN caches the files so you don't have to reload everything up every time you visit the site... I think. That way SeN uses less bandwidth and is faster.

um.....could you stupify that a little bit, just enough so that i can understand it please, i don't understand what you mean by "caches the files so you don't have to reload everything"
Firefox has a history thingy where it goes to the last page you were at when you closed it.
But other internet browsing programs store a little "cache". This cache is a folder (Temporary Internet Files) that stores things that the website tells it to store (I think). This old information is reloaded when you view a page. So in otherwords, you are looking at what was there 5 days ago, or maybe a year ago. I think that's how SeN works...
That would be cookies if I don't mistaken.
It stores adata from all the pages that you visited so that next time you go in it will load faster since most of the page is in your computer already.
SEN does have caches, however, what you are talking about is completely your browser's fault, I believe.
IE: Tools > Internet Options > Temporary Internet Files > Settings and I changed it to "Every page visit" a long time ago. Deathknight very well knows this "history bug"... he deleted some files he was working on in his little site and they were still 'there' and it freaked him out. Funny stuff.
so you believe its from our browsers and not the site? then shouldn't somebody close this topic?
