Is there some sort of HTML code that can allow each thread to refresh every 30 seconds or something, that way the user can see new posts in case a new subject or something gets up?
Thoughts?

It's called the refresh button
That'd be extremely annoying when you're trying to read the damn thing. Can't you just hit the refresh button after you've finished reading or before you post anyway?
EDIT: I didn't refresh before I posted and Old Manus caught me out! Do as I say, not as I do.
EDIT2: Although we posted at the same time and therefore Hawkey3's new thing wouldn't have prevented the intense humiliation and embarassment I am suffering from.
We never speak of Hawkey3, ever.
EDIT- Or Trey Time
EDIT2- Or Toadeye
OK, whatever you say, Trey Time.
did clout do that for the who is online part or was I dreaming?
Old Manus > Psychotic
EDIT: I didn't refresh and MP got in before me :cry:
It's called going outside, enjoying life, and coming back to see if there are any new posts.
Yams, have you ever been outside?
Now thats a statement that could contradict itselfQuote:

I've been outside all day.
I haven't it's been snowing!
It would be annoying. Is it ever so hard to simply press F5 or click the refresh button as Psy and Old Manus suggested? :rolleyes2
It wouldn't be hard to add that little meta refresh to every page on the site, but no :p
Imagine what that would do to the poor souls who still use dial-up. Loading the whole page again, with one new post? Bah, humbug.
Actually, theoretically the Jelsoft people could use the same kind of new code that puts your new post on the same page without reloading it to check for new posts in a thread after a specified interval and insert them if they were found, so it wouldn't reload the whole page at all. But don't expect me to bother doing all that :skull::skull::skull::skull: :monster:
You'd still have to load a massive amount of content, especially if it's an active thread like the Ciddies, where people are constantly posting/editing. It would be very annoying, not to mention taxing on the database. F5 is about two inches away from the letters on a keyboard, so I don't see a big problem here.
I click the link back to the forum and click the link to the thread again, because I don't trust the refresh button.
Why not click the link to the thread directly? I added a direct link in every thread back to itself quite a while ago :pQuote:

Summary of thread: "Can we?" "No."
