Cache Updates!

As we continue to receive feedback from you all, we continue to improve our caching process so that important updates happen a) IMMEDIATELY -and- b) with NO EXTRA ACTION needed from you.

In addition to the cache buster buttons in your SASS editor, you will notice that user pages have a cache buster button:


The button is in case you make a change that does not show on your site right away and you need to force the update.

We have made it so that user votes DO show immediately on a user page. We recently learned that adding a Giveaway to an event does not immediately add the event to your Guestlist/Giveaways page, so we will also be fixing that to show immediately.

When you find that you are having to use the cache buster buttons for changes that should appear immediately, please let us know so we can improve the caching process and make it so those changes happen without you using the button. The button is a means of ensuring your content gets updated as we streamline the longterm approach to combining speed + timeliness.

So let us know in DSD when you find you are cache busting where you don't think you should have to be!
