Slow Updating on the Classifieds

Posted By Phillip Keck

Hi,

I'm new to astromart, and have been prowling relentlessly for a solar telescope. Unfortunately, new posts in the classifieds aren't showing up for me until 3 or 4 hours after the time stamp. For example, a new telescope was posted today at 5:18, and it didn't come up in my searches until around 9:00 tonight. Unfortunately, in situations like this, the ads have been viewed many times by the time I get there (this ad had been viewed 75 times by the time I saw it).

I've read other posts that say cookies need to be deleted, but this is a cumbersome thing to do if I need to delete them every single time I carry out a search...particularly seeing as I'm searching several times per hour.

Is there anything else I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Oh, I thought I was supporting by paying the fee to join. Which level do I need to support at in order to get full access?

Thanks for the info,
Phil

Aside from the taking of a life, the actual well-being of the mother is totally ignored by pro-choice advocates.

I'm months late too this conversation, but I figured I'd mention this study anyway:


http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa0905882

The people carrying out that study found that going through childbirth was more likely to induce a need for psychiatric help than going through an abortion was.

A study from a couple years prior to that had findings to the contrary has turned out to be significantly flawed: http://healthland.time.com/2012/03/08/study-linking-abortion-to-mental-health-problems-is-flawed/

I'm not addressing the moral question about abortion here, I'm just addressing the comment that people who are pro-life care more about women than people who are pro-choice.
