you try to click a link and suddenly woops page refresh and another thread is in that place...

doesn't have that problem when using it in latest posts does it :)...

yes, you'll have the same problem. There is absolutely no difference...

And because of this I will never use or turn on such a feature. Besides, is it that hard to press "reload" button or <F5> in your browser?

And what's the deal with all this XML, ASP, PHP, XMLHttpRequest, etc nonsense? To refresh a page every x seconds all you have to add is 1 meta-tag or 1 line of javascript, as WDZ already said :/

I realy can't understand how people can say and think that such things will save time (just like that other thread where someone suggested an auto-popup of your contactlist when hoovering over the messenger icon)... They really don't!

With auto-refresh things, auto-popups, hoovering over something, etc. you need to WAIT till the script/program/action kicks in. This takes far more time then simply pressing 1 button, or clicking on a mouse button!!!!

So instead of being that stupidly lazy to press 1 single button, learn to use the basic default and already built in options/buttons/etc of Windows and other programs. I bet most of all the people who suggest such "time-saving" things don't even know the full scope and possebilities of their mouse and keyboard...

So don't use the "it saves time" argument, that's complete nonsense...
