Possible Chrome Issue

[SirGravatt]

When trying to Pm someone on the website verification is need (just like in voting). However, unlike in voting, on several occasions the letters reuse to appear. I know that chrome has some problem displaying some cookies which were primarily written for internet explorer, but is anyone else having these problems?

Ummm idk

He's talking about the captcha, and how it sometimes won't appear in Chrome.

I've never had that problem myself, but I know Chrome is unusual regarding its utilization of cookies and caches, which is why is also the reason it is considered such a fast browser. Just use another browser. I use it myself, but there are some sites that don't like to play nice with it.

can you provide some more information on this? I can't find anything about this besides the DNS pre-fetching that won't cause an issue. There's only so much a browser can do with cookies.. I really think you're making things up there.

as both a user and as a developer, i've found quite the opposite to be true. If you could be more specific I'd be willing to entertain the idea, but I think you're just making things up now.

I've had no such problems with PM'ing other people

I wasn't "making things up." First off, I am not a developer, but I'm not a complete idiot, thanks. I do remember reading that it holds on to the cache a lot tighter than other browsers. I've had several instances where a site will not load properly until it is refreshed (most notably in my life with Blackboard, the software most colleges use nowadays to manage classes online). It runs flawlessly in Safari and IE, but Chrome won't load links to new assignments/announcements/etc without refreshing.

Your tone came off as quite rude. Given more time I will try and find the article I read, as it was quite a while ago now. But I'll search.

^Taylor is Correct.

For Example, When SWTOR came online, many players could not finish creating their account due to a incompatibility issue with chrome. It was only noticed several day l8r that this was the problem. (I got Swtor the day it came out, but i took the initiative and like taylor said, i used another browser and it worked).
