Why don't you just change the refresh time to 120 or 300 seconds? Access with the Arrow button, far right of the message. That way you have time to read the whole list and it will still update so you know which threads are active right that minute. If you log off, though, you'll have to do it again. It doesn't save from one sign in to the next.Oh, here's another nasty issue.
When you go to the “All posts” under the “What's new” menu, of course, you get a list of all the threads in which posts have occurred, in reverse chronological order of the last post. This page, by default, “refreshes” every sixty seconds.
There is not any circumstances that I can imagine, under which I would want a page like this to “refresh” while I am trying to read through it, and pick out links to follow therefrom. At best, it is extremely annoying and disruptive when the page “refreshes”, causing me to lose my place in it.
Clicking on the icon circled here in green will temporarily turns this feature off, but it always eventually turns on again.
If this “feature” were to be eradicated completely, I would shed no tears for it, and I doubt anyone else would, either. At the very least, this feature really needs to be turned off by default, and certainly, if a user turns it off, it should never turn on again unless the user explicitly indicates that he wants it turned on.
