Like several posts and comments that have been posted 10 minutes prior haven’t been updated when i’m not signed in, but they are visible when I am signed in.
Because I was on my account, signed out, and saw the outdated activity page

Not too sure why. I noticed that myself last night. My only guess is the email sends you a version that’s a few minutes delayed. Or it’s a weird glitch where it hides everything after a certain point.
@ralph any ideas as to what’s going on?
the website is heavily cached for guests, and only refreshes periodically, every few minutes/hour or whatever the circumstances may require
this is so guests simply receive pre-calculated static html pages for everything, its orders of magnitude faster and doesn’t tax the website to query the database and construct the same /stickfigures/ page (or whatever) for all the hundreds of guests hitting it every few minutes
logged in users can’t have cached pages because a lot of page content is unique per user and commenting/etc requires non-stale pages
Holy shit
Forgot Ralph was smart
