Another Annoying Browser Setting?

[TheWolfCub]

Hi guys,

Since becoming a member of the forum, I've noticed that the refresh of 'New Posts' seems to be very erratic. What I'm trying to say is that some times I can click the 'New Posts' menu item and get three pages worth of new posts. And it'll stay like that all evening. On other occassions I click the same option and only get two or three threads.

I understand the concept of 'New Posts', i.e. posts that I've not already seen, but the way in which it works seems to be completely random. It definitely doesn't seem related to what I've looked at.

Anyone any ideas? I'm guessing that it's probably another pesky I.E. setting.

Its a bit of a pain, if I've only got 5 mins, I don't log on as me cos I won't have time to look at all the new posts, and you lose them if you log off, or wait to long. Or I keep logging on every 1/2 hour to keep the new posts down!

Dunno what you can do about it. If you've not logged off, but the time expires and you have no new posts again, you can right click on the Back button, and find the last new post search that had all the posts, and look at them one by one like that.

The 'New Post' link is the only way to keep up to date with every new post in all the forums.

Use Mozilla Firefox,it's a much better more streamlined browser than IE,plus you won't be bombarded with spyware.

Cheers m8. Will give it a try. Have been thinking about using Mozilla at home for a while.

OK while we're at it, since I just had to buy a new computer why do I get a blank box with a white square with a red X in instead of a picture? Not all pictures but some.

check your browser settings for things like
popups enabled
show picture placeholders etc...

An example is the box on the site home page under where it says "whats new"

[Chillitt]

this is annoying... i got mcafee anti virus nonsense, every day, every ----in day a little box pops up saying 'mcafee has done something amazing, do you want to;- continue what you were doing? this is the only option. its not like you could select ;- move to another planet and live on the ceiling, or;- dump racheal hunter cos that hint of a double chin is really annoying...
OF COURSE I WANT TO CONTINUE WHAT I WAS DOING, THATS WHAT I WAS DOING, I ONLY GOT MCAFEE TO STOP ANNOYING POP UPS, AND NOW I GOT ANNOYING POP UPS TO TELL ME I AM SAFE FROM ANNOYING POP UPS!!!
i wouldn't mind but i had 7 different bits of spyware that it missed...
thanks i feel better now
