# Using bbPress as comments, post does not refresh.

 * Cache seems to be working great, except…
 * I am using bbPress as a forum, but also as the comment engine for the blog. If
   a comment is made either through the forums or the comment section, the forum
   cache is cleared and a new page loaded so the new posts show up as expected.
 * However, the actual post page that the comment was on is not refreshing itself
   with a new cache copy, because I guess there was nothing about that post object
   that changed?
 * Any ideas or workarounds for this behavior?

 * Ideally, the parent topic and post would update to show new stats, replies, etc.
   A workaround I’ve used is to shorten the cache time to 1hr. Then at least the
   content is reasonably fresh for non-logged in users. However, I’ll keep this 
   topic open and take another look at more robust auto-refreshing for bbpress.
