Modifying a pages Refresh Rate
Windows XP(Home) SP3, OE6, IE8; Plenty of RAM & HHD space. Continuous checks

I read the below comment by poster VanguardLH in internetexplorer.general newsgroup. "I've had 72 tabs open but ran out of memory (they weren't text-only pages) before IE starting getting overly slow probably due to excessive paging. However, you can hit web pages that deliberately attempt to consume your CPU and bandwidth by doing refreshes at very short intervals or by constantly downloading streams of new content (even if YOU don't see a change in the page because the new content looks just like the old content). Even with just a couple tabs open, having visited one of these rude busy-making pages can make opening other tabs very slow or using the other tabs for already opened pages." Concerning - "by doing refreshes at very short intervals" Question: I use Outlook Express 6, to read newsgroups, can the message refresh rate be extended or shortened as desired, if so how? Thank you |

Thank you Are you checking for new news messages when OE polls for new messages? (Tools | Accounts | News | Properties | General Tab, with Get XXX headers ay a time unchecked?). The setting has to be the same for News and Mail, unless you set up a new identity and have one ID for each. I normally recommend checking for mail no less that ten minutes, but you can go lower if you don't get a lot of messages and they are not of considerable size. If a download doesn't complete before the next check, it will start over and you will end up with multiple messages, but not all of them. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA |

I'll give a senario: I have opened a newsgroup and I am reading a posted message and its accompanying replies. The accompanying replies may contain info that i wish to make note of, an if its a long post, when the message refreshes it jumps back to the beginning of the message and you must scrowl back down to the point where you were reading. I was wondering if the interval of the refresh rate was adjustable? |

What is happening is normal behavior for OE. The easiest work-around is to work offline when reading a long post. Just add the Offline button to the OE Toolbar. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA |

You could disable that news account from being included in the configured polling interval but then you will have to do the refreshes yourself. OE has a long-time behavior of jumping back to the top when polling for new messages when you have scrolled down in a post. You're stuck with that behavior in OE. It's one of the reasons why I trialed other newsreaders. |

I did check under my Accounts, msnews properties and found my "server timeouts" settings were set to to the short end at 30sec. I changed them to the long side, 5min. Lets see what type of change, if any, this makes. Thanks again for the help. |

It's right on the FIRST tab that is shown to you. Now slap your forehead. |

I was wondering if the interval of the refresh rate was adjustable? Yes. And your messages are screwed up because it looks like your Reply is part of my Reply because of the way the characters are inserted. While you read a post, the fact that your reader goes out to get more messages should not disturbe the post you are reading, but you can click TOOLSOPTIONS, and in the Send and Receive Messages section, increase the time between checking for new messages. Longer delays are usually better. I have my refresh rate set to 30 minutes. If I want to check sooner, I simply click on the Send/Receive button. |
