: The page has a meta-refresh setting which tells the browser not to use your cached version of 'general.html' 'rumor.html' and 'tech.html'

: The 3 forum pages are retrieved from the server each time you access it.

: This may also slow you down just a little, but it ensures that you have the newest posts.

Actually, I would love it if you could change this. Even on the T1 that we have at FIRST, it seems slow to update the General Forum list right now. I suspect that it's a combination of the server and daytime congestion between here and there, but it's even worse on a modem. Perhaps you could set a 15 minute expiration, so that you could flip back and forth many times before it refreshes.
