this may be a dft question and knowing me it probably is but when i,m on any forum based site like on here
i have to refresh my page to see any new posts does everyone have to do that or is it just me asking silly questions even when i,ve been in a chatroom on my football site i have to refresh to see any replies thanks in advance for any help

As far as I know, everyone has to do it, unless you use a program that does it for you, at a predetermined time interval.

The page you loaded, is the page you see, and it won't change.
After you load it, it becomes an old page.
Refreshing, loads a new page, which has the most recent post, at the time of the refresh.

thankyou tg thought that was the case just me being a bit of a neanderthal thanks

You're welcome, mz30.
