It's a feature. It happens once a minute or something like that. I wouldn't mind seeing it disabled though, I would prefer to refresh myself.

You don't have to reformat! Deleting system32 works better and speeds up your computer.

Just to let you guys know - I've disabled the active topics page automatically refreshing due to serious concerns I have over server load.

PCF will be moving to a new server shortly, after which I will re-evaluate the situation.

I actually quite like the refresh thing. But as far as I know it only refreshed page 1 anyway and not any of the older pages.

according to the first post it was NOT only page 1 that was refreshed. i don't recall ever having anything past the first page refresh on me myself, but evidently deathstrike discovered that the feature did extend beyond page 1. which goes to show just how often the rest of us go beyond that page. :lol:

how about since you've disabled the auto refresh which I rather enjoy, you put a different kind of active topic list in 2 sections, namely technical and chillout in a sidebar format? :P

Will someone please fix the title? Refreash is not a word.

But refreash sounds freaky :P. Will change it shortly...

BTW Tribz why not get Opera? If you right click on a page it will give you an option to "reload" the page every "X" amount of minutes :P.

Yes we decided to make your leash shorter and to not allow any sidebars. We like the forum as it is.

My word you people are the laziest bunch of mouse jockeys Ive ever seen. The "view active topics" links is on every single page of this forum. Click once. Thats is. Might take you 2 seconds to hold the page up button and then click on the link.

WOW :lol:

There are forums that are still on PHPBB2 for crying out loud. Imagine how sad that is :D
