Reload Question

GTLee · 07-08-1999, 12:38 PM

In the old BB, when I hit the reload button check out new posts it would go to the Message board homepage but the new BB (which kicks butt BTW) takes you all the way back to the site homepage. It's just a little annoying having to go back and click on "Interactive" and then "Message Board" every time I hit the reload button. Don't get me wrong, it's not a knock on the new BB it's just a concern.

OH, no no.. This is a framed enviroment, and if you hit the RELOAD button at the top of your browser it will reload the entire layout, not just the the content frame. There are two ways you can reload just the BB page.

The first way is to click on the folder links at the TOP of each message board page. If you're in a thread, you'll click on the forum name which will reload the index of threads in that forum. Then click on the name of the thread again to reload it.

The second way is to simply RIGHT CLICK in the mouse while having the mouse over the content window of the screen. When the menu appears, select and click on "Reload Frame" in newer versions of Netscape and in IE it will just say "Refresh". I know this works with all 4.x level browsers or newer. Can't remeber off hand for 3.x browsers, but I don't think it does. Regardless, anyone with an old browser (below Netscape 4.6 or IE 5.0) should definitely go download the newest version. (Come on man, they're free!
