Discussion Update Slow

[hannaone]

The Chowhound Discussions seems to be taking quite a long time to show new posts, up to fifteen minutes.

http://chowhound.chow.com/boards

Edit: Make that up to half an hour now.

Ok, if I understand correctly:

A) The page at http://chowhound.chow.com/boards is slow to update, and

B) For at least one user, the chowhound-related section(s) of the profile page are slow to update (if they're updating at all).

I can reproduce A pretty easily, but is anyone else experiencing B?

This user's profile is at least eight minutes behind on updating.

EDIT: This profile page is at least 21 minutes behind.

Note - both posted to home cooking board

[hannaone]

The two profile pages referenced above still not updated.

The two homecooking board threads are:

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/825899

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/352432

I checked several other profiles from posts on different boards/threads but didn't find any other slow updates.

Actually, that profile seems to be omitting certain posts entirely for some reason- it has up to date information for a thread just posted to Site Talk, but not for several of the other examples you're referring to. The bug is unrelated to problem A, and much stranger besides.

Somehow I pasted the same profile page twice.

This profile page may have the same problem:

User posted to this thread over an hour ago but it's not showing up in the profile page,

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/352432

[hannaone]

It may be a problem with certain threads

The user at http://www.chow.com/profile/1206733

posted to this same thread and the post is not showing in the profile

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/352432

When I replied to the thread my profile updated immediately,
But when I replied to this post
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/3524...
I got an error message ="Please enter something before responding"

I had to enter a space, then press the enter key before clicking the submit button.

Thanks for checking this out. If possible, can we ask that you test things in the test thread or in a new thread here on Site Talk, rather than in regular threads? We don't want people getting notification emails for test posts made on regular threads.

As for the bugs, given the amount of inconsistency in problem B, we'll likely have to test this one internally.

Problem A has been identified, and we hope to have a fix out before the end of the week.

Thank you for your assistance, as well as your patience.

Not meaning to belabor the point...
A thread I'm following shows a post someone made 23+ minutes ago... but Is Not showing up on her profile page yet.

The main discussion page is not refreshing.

[Gio]

I know, Veggo... even when I hit the refresh button on my tool bar.

Thanks Hannaone... that has been happening to me during the last 15-ish minutes. I've been following a post I made going from the main discussion page to home cooking and the main page doesn't show a post I made a while ago, but does appear on My Profile page.

[Gio]

This post hasn't hit the main page yet...

[hannaone]

Also the "New" button comes and goes at random.
