    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.

    How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    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?

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