Hello. I've been on several forums that use the Snitz forums format and I'm hoping to get some information on how to do something on one of them.

Let me start by saying that I'm NOT an administrator or a moderator on this board but I would like to help the ones who are solve a problem.

Here's the problem. When all of us "Plebs" are reading the forum this very annoying thing happens. About every minute or so the forum will refresh. If you are reading on page 2 or 3 of a multiple page topic it takes you out to page 1 and you have to go to the trouble of getting back to the page, and or,post that you were on.

Lots of people have commented on this being very annoying. I know how busy the moderators on the forum are (since this is only a small part of the job they do each day) and I was looking to help them out by getting the information for them and telling them so they can turn this feature off.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
Mark

Afaik this is not a default 'feature' of Snitz 3.4.03 ...(nor later versions).
So, I guess it's hardcoded into the inc_header.asp page. (Just a guess).
Do you have an url that can be checked?

Yep,
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="180; URL=topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2024">

There's a hardcoded refresh value in there!
Not default snitz code (afaik), so the admin's need to take that out!
Most likely defined in topic.asp

You have been WAY helpful. Thanks for your time!!

While I was waiting I went and looked at the source for that page myself. I found this. Forgive the page "source ignorant question" (man I've really got to learn more about this stuff ) but does this have any bearing on refreshing? If so should it also be taken out?

Thanks again!!



if (document.ReloadFrm.RefreshTime.options[document.ReloadFrm.RefreshTime.selectedIndex].value > 0) {
reloadTime = 60000 * document.ReloadFrm.RefreshTime.options[document.ReloadFrm.RefreshTime.selectedIndex].value
self.setInterval('autoReload()', 60000 * document.ReloadFrm.RefreshTime.options[document.ReloadFrm.RefreshTime.selectedIndex].value)
}

Okay, never mind. I think I answered my own question. I noticed that the line you mentioned is only in each topic individually. So, I guess, somehow that line is generated as a function of each new topic.

Thanks again.....you've been very helpful.
