When not signed in, answers and comments don't show up for a while after they're posted.

Question

Sometimes im not signed in, and it will say something like (for example) "What is a good moveset for hydreigon? Answered 34 minutes ago by Porygon-Zangoose". If i click on the thread and scroll down, its(normally) not there. It sometimes loads though. If it didnt load, when I sign in, it immeadietly loads, and I can see the persons answer/comment. It has also happened on multiple devices. Walls still work fine though, so im not entirely sure if I was intentional or not. It also happens in all sections. Either way, I wanted to make sure it was known about.
Of course I could just have bad connection, but I also wanted to ask if it happened for anyone else.

Comments

Same here, I have this happen frequently.

This is due to "caching" - basically instead of fetching all the data from the database and processing it, a copy is saved so the page loads quicker. It's only done for logged-out users because when you're logged in everything's different.

Also it's only done for question pages themselves, so the list of questions still shows the latest update. I ought to fix that to make it consistent!
