Sounds like a load of crap, but let's see what happens next. The bug remains.
Thanks for the followup and prompt feedbacks!
you rock!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks.
Mind if I link to your page in one of my posts?
thank you very much
Thor.
But now, I wonder if I also went from 500 to 800 as you did, then why not 1000?!? ;)
Thank you in advance for your response...
PS: Google France has not yet found the solution! (http://googlefrance.blogspot.fr/)!!! ;)
The longer the delay, the longer the page takes initially to load. 1000 is just 1 second, so it does not cause much delay anyway, but it is hard to anticipate possible side-effects without testing that first. We might have to have a higher delay in future when more dynamic views blogs become functional after fixing this bug, and there will be more traffic to load the javascripts and stylesheets. Currently google is not packing them and they are not really optimised for fast loading either.
We are not quite certain if google is interested in supporting dynamic views at all and fixing its bugs in future. The way they didn't react to this bug demonstrating that they really did not care about their users was quite discomforting. It might well be that the next major bug will the final show-stopper for all of us dynamic views users. There are some functionality on the platform level that can not be fixed blogger because it is not open source.
Anyway, we are hoping for the best and wishing you happy hacking and blogging!

Thank you so much for this solution which works perfectly fine - I love the new and responsive template but I was close to change platform because of this problem
Kind regards

I have being helped by Mishka: great helper!
Do you have informations about comments not being showing at static blogger pages? It is happening with me, also, Mishka is helping.
Tks,
Rafael
we have not had comments on in static pages, so we don't know how they work. It looks like static pages, as well as some older blog posts on blogs with more than 100 posts, the pages load differently so that they are not "floating" on top of the page. Perhaps this can cause problems, or it maybe be just another programming error. Do you need the commenting to be on? You could just disable comments, or re-make your static pages as ordinary blog posts and add to the pages list links to those blog post pages.
Happy hacking,

I was thinking of the last suggestion of yours...I think I will do this..

Something on a similar note that I cannot find a fix for. There is a similar bug when individual pages load which stops some of the code on the page from loading correctly (facebook widget/related posts/social media addthis links)
Do you know how this can be fixed as well please?
I just saw that in a later post, that same person is now posting a solution similar to yours ;)

Mishka says : "the dynamic templates were never intended to use any kind of custom CSS". I do not use custom CSS, but the bug is here...
Concerning my blogs, I reverted back to non-dynamic, and added links with /view at the right of the URL, for people which want to see my blogs in dynamic mode. With /view, there is no bug...
We have received some emails from people who were worried that somebody had stolen the credits for making the fix. That appears to be just a misunderstanding. One of our readers had posted the fix to google product forums and then a bunch of others assumed that he had made the fix and started to spread the misinformation. So nothing serious happened except a lot of outdated copy-pastes around the forum with the old, original, timeout value of 500.
When you spread the word, it is better to link the source just in case the fixes get updated like what happened now. Perhaps we will have to increase the value once again in the future, or change the fix in some other way. Unfortunately 500 hardly works anywhere anymore thanks to the increased traffic caused by the fixed dynamic views websites.
Anyway, thanks a lot for spreading the word about the fix. It looks like thousands of dynamics views users have managed to solve their problem thanks to your effort. We promise to keep you posted and update the fix when necessary.
Happy hacking,

I had to look all over the internet till I found this post.
