Auto Refresh, is this new?

By azholmes | February 4, 2008 - 13:40 ET

When I am loitering on the NewsBuster homepage I noticed that it will auto-refresh from time to time. Is this a new feature? Can it be turned off? I don't like to "turn the page" until I have looked at the current stories, but they keep getting pushed down the page.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I find the Drudge Report

I find the Drudge Report slightly annoying for the same reason. If it's something that helps the operation of the website, that's fine. If it is supposed to be a courtesy directed towards the reader, thank you but no, I can refresh my own page when I'm ready.

Two side effects

1) I may be reading an article that's down the page a bit, and the refresh throws me to the top of the page.

2) a few days again, these refreshes seemed to launch NewsBusted audio, quite annoying when it happened. Maybe it was on launch of a new video? Am not sure.

Same Problems

I've been away for quite some time, and, returning to NewsBusters has been a ghastly ordeal. Sudden page refreshes out of nowhere, a pop-up telling me I do not have the proper plug-in (which I do). Not a good reading experience.

I've whittled down my visits to once or twice a week because of the problems which seem to now plague the site for me.
