A date block - where the dates format is "hours to go" - is not updating for anonymous users. The block is dynamically updating for registered users.

Blocks cache is off. But from what I've read, that doesn't make any difference if page cache is turned on.

I realise that this is not a date only issue, but is there any way of serving anonymous users a dynamic set of dates without having to turn off page cache or having to keep running cron to clear the cache?

I have a similar problem. I made a view that shows agenda items that have a date field that is today or later. The block display of this view does not refresh for anonymous users when caching is set to 'Normal', even when the 'Block cache' is disabled. So, anonymous users keep seeing old agenda items. Indeed, just like in your case, when logged in it is fine.

Did you happen to solve this issue?

For now, I just turned caching off completely, but I was hoping there is a way to have page caching set to Normal, without caching this dynamic block.

I've searched now for a while and I found nothing but this thread.

I have the same problem. The datecaching thing used to work properly and all of a sudden anonymous users just see the date of the previous day.

Drupal 6.20
Date 6.x-2.5

Cachingmode normal
page compression active
block cache enabled

Anyone any idea on what could be done except disabling cache?

thanks.
