Something is very wrong with this forum

For a couple of days now we've been getting threads (in my group's section) where the first couple of posts on the second page of a thread won't let you view them - it just boots you back to the first page.
Anyone else having this?
Yesterday adding a few more posts was solving the problem - seems to be different today though.
Plus it takes 5 mins to make a post etc - maybe the database is having problems?

Try clearing your browser cache. vBulletin has switched to making use of AJAX and it's pretty problematic I've found, is very annoying, I preferred the old non-AJAX boards because, well, they worked better.

Can't do that on a work PC due to unreasonable Group Policy settings...

I very much doubt it has anything to do with the browser cache, but anyway here is a util to clear it.

Try using the alternative domain to the one you're using now. If you're using pryd.net use prydwen.net or vice versa. Some browsers treat them as seperate sites and so will start a new cache set.

Pretty sure it's related to JavaScript client side rendering using DOM techniques without properly syncing the post list with the server. Might not be browser cache ofc, it could be a proper web proxy causing problems if it is related to that, certainly I know when posting if someone else has posted in the meantime it can cause the messages to go out of sync, appear on the wrong page and such so that you miss messages.
Could be site issues but afaik there's nothing in any of the site logs to suggest any kind of problem.
