Default Help with Internet Browser.

I've had this problem with my home computer where it doesn't automatically refresh web pages. For instance if I go to CP and something new was posted between my last log on, I can't see it unless I refresh. The annoying part is I have to refresh the main page, then logon, then refresh so I can see that I'm logged on, then refresh the forum to find a thread with new posts, then refresh the individual threads to see the posts. I've tried to look under "internet options" to see if there is some magic box that was unclicked somewhere down the road but it's no go.

Can anyone offer any help?

I am guessing that you are using IE since you mention "internet options." Most likely, your "check for newer versions of stored pages" is set to "never."

Internet Options-->Browsing History (Settings)

I realize that I'm one of "those guys", but Ayrahb may have nailed your problem in his first sentence. If you're at work and can't change to a real browser I'll understand. If you have the option to change browsers though and are using IE, I'm going to pay special attention to when you're playing GTA, find you in-game and throw grenades at you.

IE7 + IE7Pro is fine for the majority of the non Microsoft hating crowd.

Firefox has its uses.

Also, if you dont like IE at work buy a U3 drive and use Firefox off that.
