I’m another one stuck on the Sludge with no comments. I thought the site had died which appeared unlikely so i’ve had a look on my wifes schoolwork computer which is 3 feet away from mine and shares the same internet connection through a router and it’s all up and running. I’ve cleared the cache, temp internet files etc. but to no avail. The only difference between the 2 computers is this one i can see the site updates on runs Vista and mine runs XP. Both on I.E 7

Thanks everyone. It’s a truly perplexing problem. I’ve just changed the date on the sludge entry to June 16 but Wulf tells me his machines are still seing it as July 17 and as the latest entry.

I’m going to get a code guy to look at these comments to note the various things that are happening, so please continue logging what’s going on.

I was going to email Sawde about this. On my macs, my G4 has no problems. On my new laptop, it will only show the website from the day you put the redesign up. I cleared the cache and refreshed, quit, restarted, tryied firefox and it still shows the old page with the Saab/Sludge story and 0 comments.

Everything is fine on my trusty old G4 though.

Monday morning on main work pc:
FF3 and Safari are fine, IE7 still stuck on the oil sludge thread, even after clearing out cache and all other settings/cookies.

Tried on another laptop. Both FF2 and IE6 stuck on the oil sludge thread.

Tried on a Windows 2003 server running IE7 – stuck on oil sludge thread.

Just my 2 cents — tried it at home all weekend using IE 7 and was stuck way back on the “Engine Sludge” day. The featured story was the new site layout and there were 19 comments…perpetually. I tried this morning before I came in to the office with the sme result.

It’s 8 am here in Washington DC, and I just loaded the page on IE 7 here at work. No problems whatsoever!

Wow. Jeff K. This gets wierder all the time.

I’ve checked it at the office on IE6 – fine. At home on Safari – fine. At home on FF3 – fine. At home on FF2 – fine. At home on IE7 – fine.

I’ve asked a code guy to take a look at it this week at see if there’s something inherent in the template that’s a problem, but I’ve got a feeling there’s some sort of caching issue with people’s ISPs and that it’ll clear itself out in time. Please clear out your caches and temporary internet files as a way of aiding the process.

As mentioned, I do have a guy who I’ll get to look at it this week.

The site works for me on one Mac in FF+Saf and not on my other Mac in FF+Saf. One is a G5, the other a G4, and both are running the same version of OS X. weirdo strango.

I just loaded the page in IE, main page is still showing 17th July.

I’ve made this comment using Firefox. working OK

Running Windows XP

IE really does seem to have trouble with this..

Is there not a HTML script you can add to your header Swade?

What sort of script were you referring to? – SW

About this new site. The latest post for example. I see a beautiful little picture of white whaletail 900. When I click the story, it’s gone. Only black ones. That’s it.

Saab is “what you see is what you get”, this new system is not.

Also, if I’m searching some cool picture that I have seen here some month before, I won’t find it since I have to click every story to find it.

Sorry that I’m such a crychild
