Server Rendering Delay

I am dealing with some peculiar server delays in displaying my latest uploads to the host's server. Caches are cleared and turned off in my browser, Safari.

The deal is this, I export a LR TTG gallery, ftp it to the server and it displays incorrect results in the browser, i.e. very small thumbnails, when in fact large thumbnails were originally displayed in TTG. I then spend the next 2 hours trying to solve this small thumbnail issue. I give up and go eat worms.

I come back 2 hours later, and the same web page now produces the large thumbnails I originally expected! This scenario has happened to me twice at two different work sessions (different tasks), months apart.

I do not know anything about how servers, or hosts for that matter, operate. Suffice to say I thought them all to be the same, once configured correctly for TTG, that they would work fine. Is this true? What might be causing this delay in rendering and what is causing the server to display wrongly sized thumbnails, only to correctly display them later on? The host is called iPower.com.

Thanks. Russ

Re: Server Rendering Delay

Just had a look at your site and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Re: Server Rendering Delay

Russ called my last night: He is working on a friend's site. Looking at the gallery.xml files, they don't show the same thumbnail sizes. So in this case, it is not a matter of displaying in the browser, but of publishing I think.

Re: Server Rendering Delay

This issue is still under investigation. Repeated publishing of one gallery, delivered the exact same result, even though thumbnail sizes were set radically different. Later viewing of the same gallery revealed changed thumbnails, as they should have been. IOW, changes made to gallery were not reflected in Safari, under any conditions. Cache off and emptied.

A different browser is a good suggestion. As well, I am tempted to try different computers and locations to confirm or deny this "delay" in rendering changes to a gallery.
