I'm not sure this would be popular w/ anyone but me, and even if it is, maybe it can't be done / isn't worth SAL's time, but I was wondering...
I often have GM open while I'm working, etc, and if I'm involved in a thread, I continually, sometimes every 30 seconds, refresh looking for new posts, especially if there's some HW trouble shooting going on, or a nice heated debate (politics, religeon...red dragon :rolleyes: , etc)
Anyways, I was wondering if there's a way to add auto refresh. It could be a settings along w/ all the others (such as how you can expand/collapse certain forums/sections) and could be set to like 30 seconds, 60 second, or off, or something like that? Not that refreshing is that hard/time consuming - it'd just be nice to have say GM open in a back window, doing work in a front one, and being able to see GM update as i'm working, so I know when I need to stop and reply, etc.
I got the idea from ESPN's scoreboards, etc. I think it's javascript, so it'd be easy, I think...
Just curious. Thanks. :thumbs:
