Re: [ross] Section list reverts to default after each edit

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I have checked the permissions as suggested and all were set correctly except a new section I had created, I amended that one but still had the same issue, I suspect that it is an IE8 issue rather than a program issue as the first time I revisited the admin section after closing IE8 fully which would clear the cache I thought everything was working fine as I was now seeing my amended list not the default one, after editing a field and saving the changes I was still seeing my new list, however I then removed a few fields and then went to edit a field, saved the changes and was then presented with the field list complete with the fields which I had previously removed. I then tried the same thing using firefox and everything worked fine, so I suspect that the issue is being caused by some caching mechanism within ie8 (perhaps this is related to their claims of much faster browsing).
The other anomaly is that if I add a field it doesnt appear in the list as again it simply displays the list as it was the first time I view the list after clearing the cache unless I force a page refresh.
ie;
1) clear cache and visit section editor and view listing fields, - all displays fine 
2) Remove field - field disappears from list - all seems fine
3) Edit a field and save change - Old list prior to field removal displays (not right) 
4) Force browser refresh - correct list appears without the previously removed field
Now the bit I dont understand
5) Edit a field and save changes - Old list prior to field removal appears again
I would assume that having done a forced refresh in step 4 that that version of the page would now be the version cached by IE8 yet after step 5 I get the field listing as it was in step 1
6) Force Browser refresh - get correct list
7) Add new field - Get old list as at (1) again complete with field which was deleted in step 2 do not see the newly created field unless I force a browser refresh
For now I can use firefox for editing but if this is an IE8 compatibility issue I suspect it is going to confuse a lot of people when setting up their listing fields. I would assume you can test this on your own test setup using IE8, if however you need access to my install just let me know but I really dont think it is a program or installation issue due to everything working fine in Firefox.
Hope this helps.
