apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Comment Trouble in IE?: Try This

We're experiencing some comment trouble in IE. We've fixed it, but the problem will persist for a little while unless you clear your cache yourself. To do this, simply go to the URL up top in your browser window and add this to the end:

?bustcache=1

so it looks like this: "http://www.apartmenttherapy.com?bustcache=1"

Then refresh and it will clear itself and enable comments again. Sorry for the problems!

Comments (16)

Thank goodness, that was driving me insane!

I'm finding errors on nearly every article still unless I bustcache each article as needed. Is that normal?

K T G-
I just did a single bustcache from the main page and it's working fine everywhere for me now: www.apartmenttherapy.com?bustcache=1

Thanks janel, but it still is a bit funky on articles older than the fix. Some articles had no trouble throughout the day, but some comments waiting in my brain, I went back and the page was still not right. Found I could fix it by pasting the "?bustcache=1" to the article itself if I was determined to, but uh.. easier not to comment on them now and just move on, I guess.

figured this might be a good spot to mention another problem.

quite often i comment on a post but the number never shows there is a comment. i come back later on and the number still says 0, so i check it and my post is still there, sometimes others have posted too with no number increase. I think it happens on the unplugged site more then the normal AT but i still see it from time to time.

Is this a testament to how much time I spent on AT? At work, no less, during any moment of downtime, or as momentary relief from high-stress deadlines. *sigh* I need therapy to tone down my AT addiction.

i think anyone viewing apartment therapy should at the very least be using firefox and i'm not against having a mac only community.

haha.

i'm kidding... but seriously. who uses explorer? are you on dial up too?

I was posting from work. I haven't had a lot of supervision lately and not a lot to do there but "hold down the fort". :) I have firefox at home and I'm home now.

If only my employer would switch to Firefox... But then I suppose I should be working...
