Something is going on with my profile!

[MaoHiwatari]

I can comment on other peoples profiles, but when they comment me, I can't see their response! My sister can see them on her account, but I can't see them on mine! I thought maybe I had too many comments, but it won't delete any comments either! It says it has deleted them, but it really hasn't.....please somebody help me!

May be a caching issue. See if they show up later.

[MaoHiwatari]

Alright, I will do that, but what is a cache?

[Stratadrake]

A cache is what a computer "remembers" from the previous time. By using a cache, it can spit out a copy of, say, a web page without having to "think" about what that page looks like.

Of course, this also means that any changes made to that page (such as new pictures comments) won't be reflected until the cached version expires.

[MaoHiwatari]

So can it be permanent or is it just temporary?

[Leotaku]

Cache isn't permanent. It'll "update" eventually.
In fact, I think you could just clear the cache, then it'll HAVE to load the current version of the page. What browser are you using?

Your Internet browser isn't the only thing that performs caching. The FAC server itself caches things like comments and pages so that it doesn't have to re-generate them from scratch every time someone views the page.

This reduces strain on the server, but introduces a delay between when you submit a comment, and when it actually appears on the page.
