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". 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,

Ok, will try that. Thanks.

It's done! And oooh so nice! I'm likin' this. Goodbye IE, and good riddance!
