Just as a FYI the move is the free site, it and the forum here are 2 different animals. But RayJ will see your suggestion regardless. What you're noticing is an ongoing issue that happens once in a while, I believe it's a system cache issue. Something similar is one user's avatar showing next to another user's name. To make sure if it's on your end or the system you can always try a hard refresh (cache clear) on your end. PC = Ctrl+F5 and for Mac it's Cmnd+R.
The cache issue is, IIRC, server side. Nothing each of us can do. There's a balance between providing real time views and server load. If you have a lot of traffic it's best to cache things so a sizable number of people see a prebuilt version of the page. But on a dynamic site, you want to see updates right away. There's a whole methodology around when to invalidate (clear) the cache on sites like this.

Oh, My bad. I thought y'all were referring to the free site's big upcoming change. I wasn't even thinking of this vBulletin switcheroo in the notice above.. my bad.
Something I’ve been noticing the last several weeks or so. It’s taking a much longer time to change pages than normal. Especially when I’m clicking on messages. It sometimes takes 5 or 6 seconds to show my messages after clicking on "messages". And I have fast internet speeds. And it just starting happening a month or so ago. Anyone else noticing this lag time? raywjohnson

I checked this out. It is as you say. It is not working correctly.
I did a little testing and found the problem. The cache is not updating. Not your browser cache, the forum software's cache. There is a function to clear it, but that should not be needed. When a new post is created, the cache is supposed to update so that when you view the thread list, you see the updated info.
