Official "I hate the auto refresh thread"

[muff]

Fuck you, auto-refresh.

[Amiadon]

I second that.

[Superguppie]

I third that. Already had to retype 5 posts.....

[polishedweasel]

I don't have that problem. I didn't even know there was an option for auto refresh. Meh.

[Superguppie]

What do you mean option? Does that mean I can turn it off?

[ABDUR101]

Well, it's not on option in your profile, so unless it's an option on IE that I'm missing, I'm pretty sure it's a banner or two that are doing it.

Could very well be. I noticed the last few times the Final Fantasy advertisement was on when the refresh happened....

[Kasumi19]

I hate the auto refresh as well. It is very annoying and I have lost some nice posts that way. If I know that I will be typing a detailed response. I will typically place it in a text document and then copy and paste it in so that I do not lose it.

[Monomate]

auto refresh? what's that?

[anwserman]

Where you sit there while typing a post, and the page refreshes or goes back a page in the history, causing whatever you typed to be burned and destroyed.

Basically, it only occurs when you have like seven paragraphs of text written down in a reply and the page refreshes... causing all of it to go "bye-bye!"

ah...i've only had one instance of that...but it happened three times in a row...

[Nai_Calus]

Six to me once in IE. Hasn't happened since I finally managed to get Mozilla DLed on this computer. Could be crappy coding somewhere having to do with the ad banners that does something to IE. Wouldn't surprise me, IE will render anything. Had to use it once to look at a page where the asshat making it put all the image URLs with -backslashes-. -_-; Mozilla, like a good boy that doesn't run broken crap, choked on it and wouldn't show the images.

Is everyone having this problem using IE? O_o;

Well, it only happened at my dad's house (for me), where I use IE and a DSL connection...

here (home), I'm on aohell and a 56k connection and it never happened.. Yayy !

[Superguppie]

As ABDUR101 said, it's probably a banner doing it. Last 2 times I had it, the Sword of Mana add was running at the top. I suspect that one, so whenever I see that one, I'll wait with starting to type until the refresh is done.
I never got the refresh twice on the same page...

[Deathscythealpha]

Ive had it a couple of times on AOL *spits*. If you hear the auto refresh 'click', just hit the stop loading button, Cancels the thing otu and lets you get along with your post.

[polishedweasel]

IF you hear the click. Just hit esc. That stops the load.(just a spinoff of the last post)

[LamerPanda]

Never had it happen to me...

But I also never have the banners up. If it really bothers you, you could fiddle with the hosts file. >_>

[Black000Moon]

i 5th that(or 4th) auto-refresh suxors it mostly happens to me in that bank character thread in fan fics.

[Ezellaur]

Yes auto-refresh does blow big goat nuts.

And I've had it happen to me like 37 times. Ugh http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif
