I've got mine set at three. Workable compromise, or is that still too much?
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Thanks for all the fish.
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.

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?

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%.

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

It's like an automatic car. It gives me the creeps, gut level. This has been the case with any BBS I've used with a form of RN.
I have control issues.
