steps to reproduce:

  1. create a community
  2. change its name
  3. load own user profile

expected results:

  • community's new name is displayed both in the "Moderates" and "Subscribed" boxes

actual results:

  • new community name is displayed in the "Moderates" box
  • community's old name is still displayed in the "Subscribed" box

additional notes:

  • the renamed community's new name becomes visible after subscribing to some other community
  • sorry for posting this here, but, i don't want to give microsoft my telephone/ID/firstborn/etc which is required to open an issue on github these days

You need to report that to the admin of reddthat.com

oh, i assumed this is a function of the software, but you think it is a configuration issue on this instance?

ping @ticoombs@reddthat.com

I too think it's possibly a software bug rather than a cache issue. We don't cache anything if you are signed in, and if it was a cache issue it would show both of the old names on the page rather than only one changing.
