I think that I know what you mean...

I have to because I have my browser (Opera) set to only check for new pages every hour, otherwise it fishes old stuff out of its cache.

Now that you mention it, it is a bit of a pain so I've just changed it to reload the page if it is more than 5 minutes old.

If you're using IE you can change how it's cache works.

Tools > Internet Options > Browsing History > Settings > Check for newer versions of stored pages: Automatic

You'll also find that if you use the Back button it won't re-load the page, but rather re-display the previously downloaded page - this won't display any changes.

Cheers,
Shaun

Thank you. I love you.

Sorry to be a boring geek but how come other sites refresh auto? Like Guardian Talk? It's only here I have to do it and I can't work it out.

I suspect PICNIC.

They possibly have some javascript that does the auto-loading.
