BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=843038&group_id=34373&atid=411192 Originally submitted by Nobody/Anonymous - nobody 2003-11-16 07:29 I get the "you have new messages" link when I've already seen them, under mozilla 1.5. Clearing my cache does not help, nor does hitting reload, or setting the cache to compare on each view, so it almost has to be a server problem. Thanks! user:Pakaran username "nrussell" AT domain "buffalo dot edu". ------------------------- Additional comments ------------------------ Date: 2003-11-16 09:04 Sender: SF user vibber This is a known problem; the root cause is not yet certain, but the immediate cause is that the user data stored in the cache is sometimes not cleared when the notification marker is cleared in the database. The wiki continues to use the cached data, which now incorrectly lists a new messages notification flag; the flag doesn't subsequently get recleared because you see the cached copy of your talk page and it doesn't get to the part where it clears the flag. Workarounds: * really force a page reload on your user talk page (ctrl+ or shift+ reload should work in IE/Mozilla) * watch/unwatch any page * log out, log back in * edit your talk page
Just happened for me on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People while browsing anonymously, but the messages were for a different IP address which is 20 hops away. Possibly relevant bits from the bad page source: "<div class="usermessage">You have <a href="/wiki/User_talk:195.93.32.13" title ="User talk:195.93.32.13">new messages</a>.</div>" "This page was last modified 01:27, 25 Oct 2004." "Served by vincent.wikimedia.org in 1.47 secs." From the later reloaded page source: "This page was last modified 01:27, 25 Oct 2004." "Served by bart.wikimedia.org in 1.18 secs."
