Hmmmm I wonder...

Sometimes we see a certain member online and all they do is refresh the homepage over and over and over and over, why would one do that? I am talking every second here.

 

Perhaps it's a bot? Or maybe they have their browser set to autorefresh every second for whatever reason. :shrug:

 

I dont get it unless it is a bug of some sort. It seems weird someone would want to do that It is a genuine member who has posted quite often.

 

It could quite possibly be a member who is experiencing extreme boredom. Rather than doing something else, they choose to refresh a selected page constantly until they witness some other form of activity (i.e. a new post, a new thread, etc.).

 

If you view who's online, their page will auto refresh, it's a great way to stay logged in as you're listed as actively viewing the forum even though you're not.

 

They were simply viewing our index. I have noticed something when reinstalling my PC when Java isnt installed the home somehow refreshes over and over strangely.

 

Hmm you've probably found the problem then!

 

We have nailed the problem now Some comet files were corrupt somehow, or at least seemingly corrupt/broken.

 

I tend to do that to see if a new post or thread has been made.

 

How did you know this was happening? I would love to be able to pinpoint who is autorefreshing?

 

Go on your whos online page and click last activity a few times, they tend to stay above you constantly.
