    I'm looking for an auto refresh program that will refresh/reload a web page at a set interval.

    Maybe this site will help. It has add-ons for different browsers.

    The add-on for IE has to be downloaded from CNET, it's a trial, and it crashes. Crash.jpg

    80000003 looks like a Permissions issue.

    Thanks.
    This is exactly what I was looking for.

    Edit:
    Oops! It kicked in will I was typing and I had to start over bcause the auto 'Draft Saved' feature had not kicked in.

    That's strange. The 'save' thing has always worked since the new forum software. I wasn't even aware of it until it revealed itself to me.

    The 'Draft Saved' also works on intervals or perhaps on how much you have typed.
    Also, after restarting Internet Explorer, YReferesher shows 'No Refresh'. I had to reset the interval.

    Yes on both. On long replies I use a new text document on the desktop and copy/paste. Also the refresher stays on the toolbar as 'no refresh' on later restarts. And can be turned off or unticked (disable this add-on) altogether. Seems to be working.

    Not for me.
    I restarted IE 20 minutes ago and still No Refresh.
    Windows 7 & Internet Explorer 9.

    I got it on 8 and IE11. See the 'No Refresh'? I'll try it on my '7 to see what it does. upload_2016-2-28_12-42-49.png upload_2016-2-28_12-42-49.png 1

    Mine doesn't restart. I have to reset the refresh rate after every IE restart.

    Screen in 'Seven.jpg Mine is centered on top of '8 and '7 but yeah have to set time interval on next restart every time.

    Yes.
    I'll give this one a miss. It's going to interfere while I'm typing a post. And I don't like the idea of setting the interval everytime. I'll just hit the F5 key.
    Thanks. It was worth a try.

    BTW. Right after I typed Yes, I noticed 'Draft saved'.

    Hitting F5 is what I've been doing right along and after reading through the difficulties you guys and/or gals have been having, I think I'll stick with it.

    Agreed.
    I didn't consider the refresh happening while I'm typing a reply.
    Thanks to all.
