[KNOWN ISSUE #K10] New Developer Page shows old state

[Bruno Oliveira ("btco")]

Issue:
The new Developer Page (http://sandbox.orkut.com/Main#Developer) shows a list of applications. What may be confusing is that it shows a state that's a few minutes old. So recent changes to application's status (going from testing to featured, or going from featured back to testing, etc) may not be visible, giving the user the impression that they didn't go through.

But don't worry, the change did happen on the server. If, however, you come back after a few hours and still don't see the change... then I'd start to get worried.

What is misleading is that the page will update immediately when you click to do something (for example, the app will immediately appear as "pending" after you submit it), but the change won't be there any more (will appear to have reverted) when the page refreshes. This is because the immediate update is done on the interface just to make it seem more responsive, and when you refresh, it will read from the backend that hasn't been updated yet. We know this is pretty strange and we'll address that soon.

Workaround:

Don't panic. Your change went through. It's just not showing yet. Don't try to perform your change again or weird things may happen.

Status:

We'll address this issue soon. Apart from these quirks, the New Developer Page works well and we hope it will be useful to you!
