I have possibly a VERY important update about this "back" issue. I started having the same issues again. But VERY rarely. So I did some experiments and I found the problem. At least in my case. The site does what it is supposed to do. Everything works. The problem is it doesn't work fast enough.
Sometimes I need to wait 20-30 seconds before the correct page and/or info are displayed. Sometimes I have to wait 2-3 minutes for this to happen. How did I discover this? I was patient. I just waited. When I saw a page and/or info that didn't look right. I just sat there and did nothing and waited. However long it took, I just waited. If I waited long enough the proper page would appear.
But certainly most people aren't going to wait the seconds or minutes for a page or info to appear.
So now instead of the "back" issue happening 99% of the time, now it is only 5% of the time. Much better and closer to perfect.
Do you have a faster fix Haplo? |

I think I/you/we/us have found it. The problem seems to be fixed now. I just tried everything I mentioned above and didn't encounter any problems. I just tried everything once. Hopefully once was enough. But for right now, everything appears to be working the way it should be working. |

Thanks, that's very useful information. I think maybe the problem is with the LocalStorage module I put in, not the prefetching module as I thought. Very weird that you are saying data as old as weeks (8/22), only reason I can think of that is if a very old version of it got stored in your browser's localstorage and it's showing that. Even still, any page that does show old information should AUTOMATICALLY update itself within a few seconds, no page refresh should be needed at all. In fact, that's kind of the biggest point of the whole thing, that it keeps track of old versions you've seen of pages, and if you click a link it shows you the old version and simultaneously sends the request to the server in the background for the latest info and once that's received update what is displayed. Obviously a step is breaking down here somewhere and only in certain circumstances.
I have disabled the localstorage module, but kept the rest of it, for the next couple of days. Can you tell me if you are still seeing very old data anywhere? If not then we have found the problem. If yes still then I'll need to keep searching.
By the way, in Chrome you can Ctrl-Shift-J to open the console, where many of the scripts that run playitontheweb output debug information that can give you more insight about what's happening behind the scenes. Though it's very technical sometimes, there's still a lot of English in there and I just wanted to make you aware of this source of info because it might help you notice something that I don't.
I really am trying to figure this problem out once and for all. I've been working on it for a few days now and it's starting to annoy me that this issue has remained intransigent under my scrutiny... This bug must be SQUASHED!! |

Haplo, since you asked, here are my most common (and most often) problems with the Chrome Back issues.
1) I ALWAYS start with my profile page. I go to the "compete" page. Then the tournament page. I ALWAYS need to refresh this page to get new and current data. Wen I go "back" I get the "compete" page twice and then backed out to my Google start page, bypassing my PIOTW Profile page. If I don't refresh the above tournament page, everything is fine...except for the tournament page showing old data.
2) Start with my profile page again. Go to the Gold Shop. Always needs to be refreshed too in order to show current data. Same with my Ledger which ALWAYS shows data from 8-22 unless refreshed. Chrome back fails to work properly here too.
3) Starting with my profile. I go to the "HELP" page. This "HELP" page is not current. It's a very long page that needs a LOT of scrolling. Plus, NONE of the side menus work. So I refresh the "Help" page. now I get a current "Help" page that is MUCH shorter and the side menus DO work. You are now familiar with the Chrome "back" issues here too.
4) I often have problems with Chrome "back" when I click to view another player's profile.

if you would please let me know if it's any better yet. I've made a few minor tweaks but I believe I still haven't solved it. If you could tell me specific circumstances (like what page you were on, what page you came from, etc) when it happens that will help me isolate it. I too have experienced the same problem you have, but for me it's extremely rare and I can't figure out what's causing it.
I do have a hardcore fix that I know will solve it, that is to make the back button not restore from cache at all but simply reload the page you were previously on. I have privately tested this and I'm certain it'll fix the issues but at a cost of not being quite as nice/fast/sleek. Kind of like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail. If I can't track down how to make it work properly 100% within a couple of days though I'll use that solution.
