| | | Auto Refresh for "Today's Posts" Is there a module or script or whatever available to give the "Today's Posts" section an Automatic Refresh Rate (say, for example, every 60 seconds)?
That would be great, if available.
P.S. - I tried using an auto refresh utility available at download.com, but since the "Today's Posts" is not a static page, it doesn't refresh the The The PuritanBoard - Search Results address, but whatever the search url it shows up at for that specific moment. Thus, the refresh doesn't really refresh at all.  |

| | | It would be great for some but not for server performance. It's one of the reasons I uninstalled the AJAX plugin that had the mailbox thingy. Every search for Today's Posts is a mySQL query. Imagine hundreds of people leaving their computers on while their Today's Posts keep refreshing. I might actually disable the Who's Online for many of the users simply because every one of these things is a server load thing.
Features are great but making sure information can still get out is key.
Good suggestion but it's not something I want to have even if I can have it. |

| | | BTW, the Opera Web Browser actually can reload at a set period of time (30 sec, minute, 5 minute) on any website. That might be too drastic a change, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

| | | Thanks, Devin. Would it accurately refresh the "Today's Post" official url, or just refresh the current search ID thing that it becomes?

| | Josh,
oh wahhhhhh. And I want the PB to speak all the posts so that I don't have to read them, and to serve me breakfast in bed!

I fixed it back.
