Newly opened theme, if you don't log in, you can't see it?

If you are reading logged out I've noticed that there is sometimes a delay before new posts become visible. I don't know why.

If you use a different browser, a browser without a login account, and enter from the forum, you cannot see your own posts.

Uhm,... what ARE your own posts if you are INCOGNITO?

Use the URL or browse and everything will be fine.

I can see all posts without problem in another browser I am not logged into.

Yep, me to.

See my report about the phenomenon.

It makes currently no sense to discuss this on 2 different levels, especially as we can't do much about it now.
So again: Thanks, @Hir for reporting. We will probably add a bug report for the programmers of this software.

If you wait a bit longer between logging out and checking your posts incognito (an hour or two), then there probably won't be a problem.
