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 is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

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.

Thanks, anyway.

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!

Oooo. I did not notice the search ID thing specifically. That would most likely require a script like the one you mentioned.

Whatever man. I'm not the one with the crazy User Title. Cry Baby.

I fixed it back.
