Odd issue with SimpleMachines. SimpleMachines claims it may be an issue with the hosting service.

So, basically, if you edit a post or setting and refresh or go to another section and come back, it will seem to be unedited and won't appear to be changed for the user who did it until numerous refreshes.

I've asked for support on SimpleMachine's forum, and they claim it may be caused by server-side caching. Has anything on the hosting service been known to interfere with SimpleMachines like this, or is it more likely to be something on my end?

x10Hosting uses Varnish cache on the Free Hosting servers. Dynamic pages are cached for a shorter period of time (30 seconds, if I recall correctly) than static assets, but anyone who's expecting immediate updates may be frustrated by that. you can turn off the caching in our .htaccess file with this line:

Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Alrighty, thank you!

Hang on, do x10 services start out with .htaccess in a specific place, or does the user have to create it? I apologize if this is a dumb question, but this is the first time I've used the service.

New accounts do not have a .htaccess file, and you would need to create one in your forum's directory. You can create a .htaccess file using the cPanel File Manager, or through FTP.

Thank you,
