On my computer.. whenever I use the links the pages do not automatically update. I have to use the refresh button in the Explorer address bar to get the latest topics. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

Try deleting your temporary internet files...ie, your browser's cache

This happens sometimes in FireFox.

As far as I can tell (I haven't even thought about anything related to programing in ages), it's because you've clicked refresh already and it's stopping you from waiting additional time.

If you're not on FireFox (I think you said you're on IE), then probably just stick with what Chicken said.

Thanks for the help... my computer is set to delete history, etc when internet is closed. I went back and deleted manually but it is still not refreshing. Yes, I'm on IE.

IE might be your first mistake.

I'd suggest trying Firefox or Google Chrome (I've never heard of someone switching from IE to them and ever going back). Either way, make sure you also have all your cached files cleared, not just browsing history.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to switch from IE. I've tried deleting/clearing everything possible but haven't had any luck fixing the problem. Guess I'll just have to use my phone.

And you're only having the problem here? Other sites work fine?

Yeah, all other sites seem to be working normally.

Well, we've used up all my useful knowledge. Hope Chicken comes back soon.

Also, did you try the old standby of closing the browser/restarting the computer? It is sort of crazy how frequently that just fixes stuff.

I definitely appreciate the help!

Think I got it solved. There was an option to update web pages never/automatically/whenever IE was opened. The automatic setting was not working. Once I clicked "all the time" everything is working again. Not sure how that happened.
