I’ve made your change, were they being tricky putting that option under “browsing history”? It was set to refresh “automatically” I reset it to every time I visit the page. So then I ask what does “automatically” mean.

Thanks

I have no idea how IE determines what is Automatic. I would guess that the second visit defaults from cache, and additional visits re-load the webpage.

If every odd visit (visit 3, 5, 7, ect) is checked for a change in status; that would conceiveably cut your web traffic by 50%. But, as most everyone now has broadband, and a webpage has (comparably) inconsequential data on it; you might as well do a re-load every visit.
