Refresh

Not an Admin, just a newbie member. Chat/page will not auto advance. Need to hit F5 to see next post or page. What do I need to have auto refresh? Thanks- Lou

Hi,

With forumotion I don't think you can have auto page refresh.

Hi Derri, Maybe I'm posting in the wrong place. I just joined "The Elite Trading Forum" . I clicked on a button at the bottom of the page marked "free forum support", which brought me to forumotion. My refresh issue is not with THIS thread, but on a phpBB forum that is linked to this one.

Hello,

I do not understand you problem ? What exactly is not auto refreshing, could you explain ?

Thanks Smile

Do you mean that the page is not fully loading?

Hi Angie, I am in The Elite Trading Forum. When other members post I can not see their new post unless I hit F5 to refresh the page. When that page is full and the posts are on the next page I have to hit F5 to get to that new page. I am the only one out of 8 posting today that has this problem. Does that explanation help?

Yes you have to manually refresh the page to see new posts, FM doesn't provide auto refreshing by default.

That sounds completely normal. Smile

Unless you're heavily modifying your forum with AJAX, there is no way by default that a new post will pop up without refreshing.

No, that is not what I mean. When anyone posts on the forum, I can not see any new post without hitting the F5 key (refresh). When the current page is full and the chat continues to the next page, I have to hit the F5 key(refresh) to see the next page, it will not advance automatically.

Forumotion does not have that option.
