Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.DerekU2

Ok, This has bugged me since I became a member of BikeForums in May. When I'm reading a post, then click back to go back to the list of threads, the list is refreshed. I don't want this to happen. I want to load up the forum I'm interested in and just click through the threads I want. Flying around using the back button - not waiting on the sometimes painfully slow servers to show me the latest bumped threads. if I want the latest threads, I'll refresh!
The automatic refresh not only slows the page load for me, it also increases your server load. In addition, it often makes it just a bit harder to find the threads I'm interested in. I load up a forum, see three threads I'm interested in. I click the first one, read, press back to click the second one, only now it's bumped further down the page or higher up...
I use other forums that seem to be based on the same software that DONT refresh when I click back. Is there some sort of user setting I can check to prevent the refresh? If it matters, I'm running Firefox 1.5
