I know you like to have this feature off, Jordan, so I just thought I’d point out that when you’re on the New Posts page, it does that auto-refresh thingy when you leave it alone for a while.
 
Yeah - it's been doing this for a few months now. I would also like this to be disabled, mainly because I usually leave the page open on that page and it refreshes when I wanted it to just eventually take me offline.
 
I actually put this feature in myself, because as you pointed out a while back, it's nice to have a way to stay logged in sometimes and want to keep new posts unread. That's logically a good page to auto-refresh, anyway. G.T, none of the other pages on the site auto-refresh so you will be automatically logged out.

Ah, ok, good to know. I just got into the habit of closing my page each time I was finished. :D

Personally, I wouldn't like it to refresh, but I suppose it is the most logical place to do it for people that do like it. :)
 
Oh – I thought it was built-in to vB, and then you disabled it to avoid taxing the sever. My memory’s not what it used to be. :dunce:
 
This auto-refresh didn't work for me yesterday.

I left my page at the New Posts and went off to dinner, and when I came back and went to My GTPlanet only two threads were showing.

I had to go through the subscription thing and reply to threads from there.
