Never had an issue while using Firefox 3.5.

we had the same issue when we rolled to the new WP. In our case it was because we were running the Supercache plugin, which (for whatever reason) didn’t update to the new content until we restarted the plugin…

ymmv.

Bob Lipton’s question needs an answer.

And in other important questions…..what were you doing or what will you be doing at 12:34:56 7/8/9?

For the past couple of days it’s been stuck. Now it’s fine. On FF 3.5.

I had been seeing the correct content up until sometime yesterday, when it suddenly “rolled back” to July 5. Shift-Reload did no good; I had just assumed that you’d run into a problem with the new software and had to restore from a backup. (This was on IE8 on Vista.)

Works fine in Safari

I use Firefox 3.0.11 which rendered all the new posts correctly, which is why it took me a while to catch on to the problem. (Same thing happened in January, with the then-current Firefox). I got the frozen version using IE 7.0 and Safari 4.0. I’m glad to hear IE 8 handles the issue.

Bob L.: Yes, I know it must sound like Lily Tomlin’s telephone operator routine, “Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?” But lots of people do see new posts on RSS or Twitter even if their browser is stuck on the old cache.

I’m on IE8 (the just released version) and the page has been loading just fine for me.

Walter,
I use Firefox and I was stuck on the July 5 update. However, RSS was working so I could access Overlawyered that way. It is working now. I believe I was affected last time also.

How are people to see this notice if they’re stuck at July 5?
