I'm experiencing an interesting situation on my site and I've been able to repeat the symptoms on drupal.org. You can follow along with these steps if you are interested.

  1. Login to a drupal powered site with caching enabled
  2. Click on a link that will take you to the home page (the druplicon in the case of drupal.org)
  3. Notice that the home page displays the login block as if you are not logged in.

I disabled the cache and the problem stopped occurring. This could lead to potential usability issues.

this is a strange problem. refreshing the page usually gets rid of it for that session. no idea the cause.

I am also experiencing similar problems with my Drupal 4.7 Beta 4 installation.

As diggersf pointed out, logging in and then going to the home page gives out a page which displays that I haven't logged in. Also hitting refresh changes that to the logged in status.

Is there a way to force the browser to refresh its cache of the home page after the user logs in?

I am also having this problem on my site. Watching this thread, will report back if I find a solution.

Got the same problem at my site, a shift-reload (super reload) sorts it but I am afraid it will confuse many users. Especially those using Opera with its infamous stubborn will to show cached copies of pages, it doesn't refresh even when changes have indeed been made.

Same problem, only I only experience it on the home page and a views page I have set up. Refreshing doesn't help. Disabling the cache doesn't help either.

Hi,

I believe this issue is related:

Multiple logins required - the most relevant posts are probably the ones near the bottom

I am having this issue also, still with no resolution. I have only one site, so I do not think it is a multiple login site.
