question?

01-20-2000, 10:29 PM

Say I'm runing around this site, looking at videos, or checking user's rides. If someone posts a new topic or a new reply in the messageboard, do I have to exit the site and then go back in to view the new posts/topics? Or do they come up as they're posted? I am asking this b/c I plan to leave my computer on all the time(with a screensaver of course) and most of the time it will be on this site so I don't have to get into it every time I sit down. Thanx.

No, you do not have to shut down your browser or computer for new posts to show up in the messageboard with the red colored folders. If you have the preferences and account set on your browser as cookie entries like you should, it will work and show you new posts as you go into each forum. However, to get the ones you that were new to you when you first entered to not show as new, and just have the new ones posted while you we're on the messageboard show as new, you will have to leave the messageboard and then come back in. However, you do not have to leave the site to do this.

Did I make any sense?
