I have Movable Type 3.16 installed on a RedHat server. When I was running 3.121, a very experienced user noticed that sometimes after he posted an entry, it didn't immediately show up on the index.html page. There were instances when it didn't show up for some time (although it did appear in the daily entries).

Has anyone experienced this?

I forgot to add that the same thing is happening in 3.16.

Usually this is an instance where either you changed the file extension of your index in your MT setup by creating a new index template but still left the old file on the server where it is being used as the default, or else the box that says "rebuild automatically" isn't checked and the only time you see updates is when you've forced the rebuild.

The problem is that is doesn't happen all the time. Most of the time the posts immediately appear, but sometimes they do not. Also, I just looked at the templates and the index.html name hasn't changed from index.html.

Any other thoughts?
