lol

Seems like several "IT" types hang out here

Instead of refreshing have you tried using iSpy

http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/vaispy.php

It's much easier and faster

Oooooohhhhh... you're making it that much easier for my addiction... errr... i mean dedication. Looking through here and seeing all of my posts being most of the recent ones, it's no wonder i've accumulated over 220+ posts in 2 months, lol

If you are at the home page, on the upper left colume it will say "I Spy" if you click on it it will take you there too. BigAl, sometimes I do not see post on on I Spy, that are in the forum that they are posted in?

Bob I've never noticed that to be the case here. I know sometimes after a big MS Update that sometimes my FireFox has to be cleaned up (I think MS does this on purpose) or I can't see scrolling posts. I just use ATF-Cleaner.exe to clear it all out and re-launch FireFox.

rbursek · 07-24-2009, 03:50 PM

BigAl,
what is a MS clean up?

BigAl07 · 07-24-2009, 03:51 PM

Do you mean MS Update? That's MicroSoft Update of their Windows (usually a Service Pack or Security Patch).

rbursek · 07-24-2009, 03:55 PM

BigAl,
just happened now, all post I made here in the last 10 minutes are not showing up on my screen after clicking on the post in I Spy to answer them. I hope I explained that right.

rbursek · 07-24-2009, 03:58 PM

BA,
a better explination, I click on the thread on ISpy, takes me to the thread, I post a statement, hit post, then hit the "back" button to go to I Spy again, and then my other posts are no longer there, except for the one I just did.

D3monic · 07-24-2009, 04:01 PM

I didnt see the "I mainly troll forums while driving a company vehicle in traffic" option. That would of been my main choice...if I made a post between 8am-4pm I did it while making a left hand turn and giving a cabby the finger.

BigAl07 · 07-24-2009, 04:09 PM

Oh that's because it only shows the LAST post of a certain thread when you first start the page. Then as it scrolls you'll see all subsequent posts.

Does that make sense?

rbursek · 07-24-2009, 04:16 PM

BA,
if I understand that right, if someone has posted on the thread I previosly posted on when I go back to Spy, my post will not show up anymore?
