I have a strange thing on the latest version on Discourse (3.4.0.beta1-dev).

Some posts aren’t shown and give the following error in the console.  
The spinner keeps turning and turning!

Strange thing is that some posts hang when i’m logged in and will load when i sign-out. But some never load.

This is what i get in the console:

```plaintext

```

**What i have done so far:**

- Checked in safe-mode. Same problem
- Turned off plugins 1-by-1. Same problem
- laucher rebuild app

I see this in the rebuild btw:

And other things i just tested is:

- wiping my cookies
- using an private browser.  
Same results ☹

I tried the first link and it didn’t work for me. Forum itself yes, but that topic showed just spinner.

No upgrade or change done today.. only a new post.

But it looks like the problem is gone. 💥

I had this for more than 2 days!  
I’m almost bold from pulling my hair out 🙉

@j.jaffeux could it be a db upgrade or something like that in background?

> And thanks for looking into it!! ❤

Just to update after a period of say 24H the issue has now gone away which suggests it is forcing some sort of reindexing as others have suggested.

Thank you for reporting this bug. It should be fixed with this PR

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28801](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28801)

We moved the `like` post-action type to the database. However, for performance reasons, we cache post action types (for 24 hours) - that’s why everything is automatically fixed for you after ~24 hours.

When Discourse is updated, we should reset this cache just to be sure that the front-end has access to all post-action types.
