One problem I've encountered on my ninja connection here at uni is that sometimes the displays updates after a move command straight away- before the move seems to take place.
This means that you think you haven't moved but you have, so the next time you move you appear to have moved two spaces. I thought it was just browser stragenesss but it's happened to me twice today in the same turn. You can tell it's happened because the page refreshes. It's simple to work around by looking in a direction afterwards.

It's not when you click 'refresh', it's when you make a move. The display is the same as before, but you have actually moved behind the scenes. I should have made it clearer.

I didn't mean the refresh button in the browser. The only 'refresh' is when the page updates after a move. It's happening too soon and showing the wrong thing.

I think that that's due to lags over the 'net. Not sure what I can do about that. It happens to me occasionally on dial up, but not when I have decent bandwidth.

It only seems to happen to me on fast connections. Might be caching somewhere. I click move, the page flickers as it loads, but I'm seeing the same thing.
I don't have any ideas as to what might fix it either. It might cause confusion for newbies when you go live, though.

Which browser/OS combo do you get this on. Does it happen on all your browsers or just one? There may be a setting that needs to be fiddled with. I know that Fernando had problems with IE until he enabled the page refesh on every hit.
I get dreadful caching problems with IE. One of the many reasons why I've switched to the Mozilla-based browsers, even though they are not 100% perfect (yet!)

IE6 on Windows 2000. I'm not really in a position to try an alternative browser at uni. I've fiddled with IE settings a little, and I'll let you know if it happens again.

Sometimes with IE (though this may not be browser-specific, only that I only noticed with IE), I could not get the page to refresh at all, even after clearing the cache, deleting temp files AND restarting the browser. If you are behind proxy servers, it could be that they or a server along the internal route are caching the content too? I have included some forcing of cache-refreshing in the html, but this seems to make little difference  |

When I get the problem, peforming some trivial action (like facing a certain direction) clears it up. It's almost as if the page is delviered before the database is changed.

Bizarre. I haven't had the problem myself with MU, so it's hard to get a feel for where the problem may lie.
Maybe some of the web-wizzes out there can offer s suggestion?

Happened again. Latest version of IE, caching set at a minimum.
It could always be caching somewhere in the university proxy system. I'm not up to speed on that kind of thing.

My firm's proxies sometimes cache web pages. For ages I thought that my sister's blog had not been updated for weeks, only to find that the cache had not been refreshed!

Has anyone had this problem where proxies have not been involved?
