Server Load Page Simple Suggestion by matty on 05-28-2004 at 07:13 PM
Hey WDZ and Surfi simple suggestion you guys may want to take into consideration. How about disabling the F5 key on the keyboard so that when its pressed it wont refresh the page and you guys could have a popup box say sorry this only puts more strain on the server and so on.
code:
<script>
function rejectF5()
{
if(event.keyCode == 116)
{
event.keyCode = 0;
alert('This only puts more strain on the server. Please do not continue to do this.\n\nMsgPlus! Forums Staff');
return false;
}
}
</script>

blah, I use the F5 key a lot, it's very handy. If you let people not use the F5 key anymore they will just press "View Latest Posts" over and over

I can always press the Refresh button on my browser instead...

That's dodgy, and it probably only works in IE anyway...

I will need to refresh that page later anyway, won't I?

You can use the Resfresh button in IE, only reason why i suggested it is so that it will prevent people from constantly trying to refresh the page

This would just make using the fourms more annoying....and take a very minimal load off of the server...not everyone F5's it....I usually CTRL+R the main page
RE: Server Load Page Simple Suggestion by Kryptonate on 05-28-2004 at 09:11 PM
CTRL + F5? just use F5 only

Most people who constantly refresh that page probably don't know about the F5 shortcut anyway
