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

pressing the F5 button all the time is the same as pressing the refresh button in your browser. The only difference is that it's done by your mouse.

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

CTRL + F5? just use F5 only
