Why doesn't this site have an automatic page refresh just to make life simpler...

It beats pressing CTRL+R everytime..!

what the heck are you talking about?

you know how much more bandwith that would suck in by refreshing like 900 people every five seconds..
then the web site updater would be a prick....The main category page of the site, refresh it there, when I post a message I go to the main page of the category site and refresh to see if there are any replies...an automatic refresher of some sort would enhance usability...Do you not agree IcedEarth?

Live can show you the newly posted threads.......does this meet a solution to your needs?

If not i'm not sure what would except a refresh of the actual forum.

Lol

It's ok, i think some people get a bit to 'i-rate' about the suggestions thread.

Dumb suggestion or not, they should all be taken seriously and not be flamed.

Besides this wasn't dumb, or else it wouldn't already be implemented


Live isn't exactly an obvious thing to spot either, so don't worry about it.

Have fun

EDIT: I'll definately take a Guiness, aint had one fo them in weeks.

I see what you mean now, but its not that much to push F5 if we didnt have it you know?

one refresh every minute + <900 users on at a time = are you crazy????? think about the lag.
