Similar issue at Contractor UK Bulletin Board

Caching is so broken that the index page shows the avatar of the most recent poster but the name and date of a different poster - see example below - with Nick's name and LM's avatar.

Cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors, the two hardest things to get right in software engineering... or there's only two hard problems in computer science: we only have one joke; and it isn't very funny
