Www.steinberg.help pages get stale?

I tend to leave browser tabs open. But if I come back to the steinberg.help page that has been open in a tab for a while, a search for a topic returns errors. The url has a base of www.steinberg.help but I get DNS errors if I try to refresh it. If I try using a new tab everything works fine. Any ideas what’s going on?

What platform and browser are you using? There have been some reports of problems with older Macs running Safari.

2018 Mac Mini, Sonoma, Chrome

Hi @Michael_Miller - welcome to the forum!

How long would you say is “a while”? If it’s more than a few days, then it could be that our documentation hosting platform has rotated their back-end servers recently – which can happen when deploying new code – and the DNS cache in your browser tab is stale.

We will certainly pass this observation onto them and see what they say.

Not sure if this is related, but I can report a recent behavior change in Safari (17.6): when I go to my ever-open 5.1 manual tab after “some amount of time” (unhelpful, I realize, [EDIT: but not “more than a few days,” I know] — I’ll start to pay closer attention), it’s blank except for the “loading website” wheel, which never completes. But as soon as I manually reload the page it loads just fine.

ADDENDUM: Also, I’ve noticed just very recently I’ve begun being prompted several times a day to accept Steinberg cookie settings and even got bumped out once and had to log back in. New behaviors to this regular user, for sure. I’m enough of a “world-wide-inter-web” (:slightly_smiling_face:) ignoramus not to know if these would be related to some of the other behaviors being reported, but I wanted to err on the side of caution.

Regardless of any problems that may or not be related, I always recommend not using Chrome.

There are other Chromium-based browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, or MS Edge.

Thanks, but with all due respect, I don’t think that’s a good business strategy:
Browser worldwide marketshare Aug 2024
|Chrome|65.18%|
|Safari|18.55%|
|Edge|5.26%|
|Firefox|2.74%|
|Samsung Internet|2.56%|
|Opera|2.15%|

While I agree, Chrome has it’s issues, mainly making it impossible for web designers to keep up… The symptoms indicate a problem at the server end rather than with the browser. But I’ll give Firefox a try as I’m wary of the others.

Not sure if any of this is relevant. However, everything but the last line of the log was there when I returned to the page after a few hours. Then when I tried to refresh, the message about navigating to the chrome-error appeared.

@Michael_Miller,would you please edit that post and at least wrap that lengthy pasted code inside the forum’s hide details feature? (I would think that even better would be to upload it as a zipped text file.) It’s quite the scroll!
