Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
See, this is when I start thinking I might have a problem. Because I think, "HOW COULD ANYONE WAIT MORE THAN 5 MINUTES?!? THERE MIGHT BE NEW POSTS!!"
And then I get a grip and attempt to get a life.
I've got mine set at three. Workable compromise, or is that still too much?
So, hitting 'read new' is easier on bandwidth than setting it to automatically refresh?
I leave mine at 5 & occasionally push Read New to see what comes up.

Yes, unless you do it more often than once a minute, in which case it isn't.
I'm a five-minute-minimum voter myself.

(Signed, set to 1 minute refresh, still hits F5, hates read new, as it confuses small brained mammalself)
How come splitting the difference = 3?
1 2 3 4 5
Sorta.
And five seems long to my hyperself, but 3 is a number I can deal with with less fidgeting.
Would taking all the whitespace out of the generated HTML help at all? To me, it seems like it might.
When I took the source for the message center page and measured it in BBEdit, it came out to 13,194 bytes. When I ran it through BBEdit's HTML optimizer, it came out at 10,563 bytes, a savings of 17%.
