Without changing any settings (to my knowledge) in IE 5.0, my browser has suddenly stopped automatically refreshing. What I mean by this, for instance, is that when I'm at one of the main forum pages (such as General Questions) showing the list of current topics, I can click a thread link, read it, and when I click the "Back" button, the browser would automatically refresh the list of current topics, so that if people had posted to threads while I was off reading one, the new ones would be moved to the top.

This is no longer happening, and I'm finding it to be quite annoying. I don't recall changing any settings that would account for this. I've poked through the Tools/Internet Options menu and I don't see anything that appears to control this feature. Does anyone know how I can turn this back on?

TIA
