I noticed yesterday that I missed out on around 2 days of messages because
reloading the full message page didn't update the posts.

This morning, I KNEW that there were messages, and that I had posted some as
well, but had difficulties getting the digest to refresh the posted messages.

I had to go a roundabout way to get an updated digest page.
Maybe this has to do with all the cloudflare stuff - I dunno.

Just thought I'd mention it.

correct, yes, Cloudflare.  Chris posted a few days ago about it being necessary.
 here I have to Shift-Reload, always, or I get a stale, "cached" page (using
Chrome).

I do have a cache bypass rule for the digests configured in cloudflare. However the
specifics of it have changed a bit over the last few days, and it could be your
browser cached a longer expire time. I'm now telling Cloudflare to bypass its own
cache, but also telling it to send an expire time of one minute to the browser.

If you are still getting issues please let me know the exact URL you are having
problems with and also, if you can, give me the full headers of the response. These
can be accessed if you have your browser's developer tools open at the time you load
the page, and go to the network pane.
