Single Category Embedded View, on a page, in a frame, why, with one set of clients, does the view not display? 
OK, this is a mix of a best practices and a why doesn't this darn thing work question -
 
I've got an app, which launches a frameset.  In the bottom of the frameset, is a frame, with a sub-frameset in it, with a 2 column frameset in it.
 
Within those two bottom frames, are two, hard selected, pages with embedded views, using a Show single category based on @username.
 
I've got an issue, where many folks lose the views, and they just get blank pages, I've also seen instances where the category displays as a row - which, shouldn't be happening either.
So, I am wondering if it could be - seems like it might be a 8.5 -> 8.5.1 issue, but I've tested it from both and other clients local to me and I'm just not seeing the problem.
When I open the same replica of the db off another server, in a different country, it just works fine, yet people local to that server report the disappearing views.
 
And, while I am at it - if I don't need any other functions, is it better to use a form than a page for an embedded view for any specific reason?  I am currently using a page, but am not agaisnt using a form, but I'd think a page has less overhead than a form.

This is strictly a Notes client app - not used on web just yet...

Thank you!

Well, as for the problem, it certainly does seem to be something that was fixed between 8.5 and 8.5.1.  While I don't know which specific fix did it, I suspect is was something in one of these:

So that just leaves the best practices part of the question - form vs page for embedded view - any thoughts on it greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
