Page refresh feature.

I recently came across pagereboot.com, and find it useful when keeping an eye on a category in Adverts. I have it set to refresh every 10mins.

Is this a drain on the sites resources? Could it be a useful "built-in" tool to make available to Mods/Admins?

I have this running on an old laptop, with a few pages being updated. I can't use this if logged in, but it is handy, as I can check it every now and then, and see the most recent activity.

Not at all. You have to be making hundreds of page requests per second to make any sort of dent in the site.

I'll ask around the lads here, see what they think.

This feature is built into Opera, so that's another alternative for you.

I haven't a clue about different browsers, heck, I haven't a clue about IE!
Hence I like the pagereboot, numpty, option.
I find it great for keeping an eye on Adverts. The page refreshes every ten mins, and I can glance at it, every now and then, to see the latest activity.

I can't use this while I'm logged in though, so just wondering if this could be incorporated, as it'd be handy to have your subbed page refresh.

I know this may not be possible, I'm just adding it to the list of suggestions. Maybe the answer is for everyone to switch to Opera? But you'd need to show me how!

Firefox has a plug in that will do this aswell.
