Action lags?

[Carmudgeon]

I've noticed lately that there is a lag between an action, and the results being returned.

One example -- peruse the New Posts list, click on the link to the last post that occurred one minute ago, and it displays a post from further back in history, not the new one, which is nowhere to be seen.

Acting like there is a something akin to profanity delay at work, like used in broadcasting, and things aren't behaving like they're "live."

It's not consistent, but does occur.

Click "Refresh" before acting.

Posts like this will get a stern warning from a mod that that you did not ask them in a PM first.

No, not here. We appreciate when members let us know there is potentially something amiss.

Thank you for letting me know. I know exactly what it is and will make a change in a minute to cause less of a delay. The delay will not completely go away, because it's caused by some caching we do to reduce the load on the SQL server.

You'll see a maximum delay now of 600 seconds. We can't set it much lower than that, unfortunately.

No, thank you. Appreciate the explanation.

Old testing habits die hard.

I set it to 30 seconds just to see how it behaves. I think we'll leave it there until we have a reason to change it.

Can you tell the difference now?

Just got back…looks good. Thanks again.
