This Safari caching bug still hasn't been fixed. It bit me yesterday and I almost lost an entry.

I used to use kung-log, that was a pretty sweet application. That caching bug hasn't bit me yet, but I haven't upgraded to Panther yet. Is it Panther-centric, or do Jaguar builds of Safari do the same thing?

Ah, now I know what happened! A few times when I was deleting spam comments (pre-MT-Blacklist) I ended up with the spam comment as the entry. I think I'll try Ecto.

Mike--as far as I know this was a pre-Panther issue as well. I wrote the article after Panther was released, but I knew about the problem when it happened to Dominey because it had happened to me weeks earlier (when I was using Jaguar).
dave & nils--It should be noted that ecto in no way fixes this problem. It doesn't even get around it. ecto does not allow for comment deletion, which is where this bug occurs. This is not to say you shouldn't use ecto (I do), but just to warn you that using the app won't save you from this bug.

It definitely affects Jaguar.

Yup, there's no way to do anything with comments in ecto, but it does avoid losing posts. That said, if you're in using the mt interface, there's really no need to be switching to an external app.

Just thought I'd let you all know that Jason's post managed to point Hyatt's attention to my entry, and he's just reproduced the bug.
Hopefully this means this bug's days are numbered.
This thread is closed to new comments. Thanks to everyone who responded.

I use ecto (formerly kung-log) for most of my posts rather than the mt interface. Then again, I don't get much in the way of comments or comment spam. It's also an unnecessay application to have open if you're one of the dock minimalists.
