Why is it when using IE and checking up on my postings, the page hasn't refreshed itself.
If I hit refresh, then bingo, now my screen is updated.
This goes for any website I've visited. I restarted, shut down, have all the latest updates, and at a loss. Any clues?
I'm just about ready to download Mozilla Firefox.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you are wondering why pages do not automatically update themselves. It turns out that a webpage must be specifically coded to auto refresh. Most don't.

I strongly encourage you to use Firefox, as I believe it is a superior browser to IE. If you do, there is a Firefox extension called "ReloadEvery (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115)". Although I haven't used it, it says it will reload a webpage every so often automatically. You might give that a try. Just download and install Firefox, then come back here and click on the link above for ReloadEvery. It will be straightforward after that.

Hope this helps,
