Vanishing Revies

I've seen this weird behaviour more than a few times now:

When accesing the PA main page, more or less the first thing you see is the list of newest reviews.

When then switching to 'Last 50 reviews', a lot of times the first one or two reviews vanish. If you go 'back to previous page' in the browser, they're there again.

I could understand it, if the last reviews dropped off the bottom of the list, but it's the first ones that vanish.

At the same time, I haven't checked if there's a lag in the update, so they might get added to the top of the page later, but it doesn't seem to make much sense.

	It's just a delay in adding the reviews to the latest 50 due to cacheing. It allows the site to run work more efficiently.

	Reviews are an optical illusion. They always do disappearing acts.
