I like to keep the window that has my recent posts open at all times. I just hit the refresh button and I can monitor any and all action in the threads without actually openning the thread again or refreshing the thread if it is open. Sometimes this in the only window I’ll have open throughout the day, if there is no activity on any of the threads (after I hit the refresh button) then there is no reason to open the thread up again. I surf with I.E.
I used to be able to do this without any time restraints, that is, I could do it the next morning and it would still work.
Anyhooo, lately, whenever I hit this refresh button (after waiting a sufficient amount of time, say, a couple of hours) I get the message; “You stupid dummy, you can’t do this” or the official internet version of that message. I can’t check it now to get the exact message, of course, because I just refreshed it a few minutes ago and I forgot to copy the text of the message.
So, I have to go back to the search page and re-fill out the search info and parameters and hit search again.
Why would this be happening, is it another sign of the end-of-times, or just a glitch in the software?
Also, sometimes when I’m looking at one of my posts the green “online” button is not highlighted green. I’m clearly “online”, I’m always online, I never log off.
The only thing I do is lock out the computer so no-one can access it, but I never log off.
I’m thinking there is some sort of activity timer that is set way too low, or something.
