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 two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've got mine set at three. Workable compromise, or is that still too much?

Thanks for all the fish.
So, hitting 'read new' is easier on bandwidth than setting it to automatically refresh?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Can we split the difference, have it be 3?
(Signed, set to 1 minute refresh, still hits F5, hates read new, as it confuses small brained mammalself)

How come splitting the difference = 3?

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%.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
OK, I have to ask -- what do people not like with "read new"?
