I have come across 3 different problems within 3 days, two of which might be related. Here they are:

1) The Server: Kicked me out and I couldn't log in for hours on end, my other detective lost cases, which I didn't mind because my only purpose to subscribe with that detective was to experiment, in the first place. I hope this never happens to Eden! (this was the other day)

2)
i) Part of Crime Lab Analysis page showed up above Delhi city map!
ii) Sometimes I could display a whole page (suspects pages in general) only if I refreshed it a couple of times.
iii) Get this:

-You check X's alibi. It's valid. You have X's page opened next to the map page, so you click on X's tab. You hit backspace, click on "ask another question" to refresh the page, you see Alibi: Y (real) written at the bottom. Alibi checked, and X's page refreshed.

-Then you go check other alibis, so the map page's been refreshed a couple of times now, and you come across another suspect with the alibi "Y".

-You go to townie Y, and see that X is still there, waiting to be checked!


So I rub my eyes, say to myself "Eden don't screw this up again, blah blah", I revisit X's tab again, and I see X was indeed checked already, and it says "real" right at the bottom.

What on earth is happening? And I don't want a strait jacket, nurse Ratched! (come on, I know it sucks but it rhymes :) )

This was all yesterday, too. I've been having this for at least about a month now -rarely though-, used to think they all were a result of my short attention span but I got it again and this time I was lucky enough to have both tags still open to check it out.

3) I have Advanced Interrogation, Advanced Sweet Talking and Judge of Character, but I have never been able to see any "Try to judge the character" option on suspects' pages.

Is this supposed to be normal?

Eden,

Do you have multiple tabs open in firefox or are you always working out of the same window? I only ask becasue that can affect it.

It does sound like a bug, but nic is on trakc with something being cached. Have you tried clearing your cache? The instructions for how to clear the cache depned on what version of firefox you are running. ( I don't know why all these browsers change it so much) But to get instructions, first determine your version of firefox. (Up on the menu bar click on Help | About Firefox and that will tell you the version) then go to google and just search 'clear cache firefox version x.xx' with xx being the version you have

@ctown: Yes, I have multiple tabs in firefox and all on a single window.

I'll do what you say. I generally clear my caches weekly but I was sloppy last month and I had some adware sneaking in, too. Thank you very much.

I'll get a screen shot of my tabs if this happens again. I checked my last refreshing problem many times, and I wasn't being led by my muscle memory automatically so I am very sure about this one. (because it seems I was mistaken about JoC as stated below)

BUT @ nicnic: I am so sorry to have taken your time, being unable to see JoC was my mistake. It's resolved now and I am going to report a "false bug report" on it.

----highlighting for others to see ------

JoC resolved
--------------------------
Thanks to everyone.

No worries Eden. Talking through these things sometimes points to the answer.

If you have multiple tabs of Sleuth open, I would definitely think this is probably why you are still seeing questions opened that you already asked. Because each tab is pointing to a different point in time in the game. While refreshing the pages should update it, stranger things have happened and honestly Sleuth always goes a little wonky for me when I have multiple sessions open.

When you move through tabs, the tab will only be current if you click on a link or hit refresh / reload. Otherwise the information on the tab could be 5 cases old.

I don't play in tabs. I've had too many seniors moments.

Guess that explains many moments I've had so far, too. (lolling at myself now)

But the funny things is: The older tab said I had a real alibi for a victim whereas the new tab(for map page) said I had yet to check out this same victim.
Wow. That was short. I'm on the verge of tears of happiness. I could actually keep it short and simple.

Wow Ciara, glad to have served as a vessel for you to bash Mrs Backus, the object of your affection :)

BTW, I've been told that the game was updated, and that I might be having problems with my caches, just like ctown28 and nicnic said.

"Admin have recently made an upgrade which has thrown things out slightly. You may have a cached version, so clearing your cache may solve the problem." was the exact explanation to one of my reported problems. So there has been a game update while the server was down, I presume.

Anyone who's had problems this(or last) week better clear their caches.

Thanks everyone.
