Automatic page refresh gone? [View all]

Before yesterday's maintenance, whenever I went from page to page, they refreshed automatically. The home page, Latest, thread pages, etc.

It no longer does this. I have to remember to press F5 all the time now. I can adjust, but the old way was very very handy.

Have others observed this?
Was this intentional, as part of the maintenance?

To clarify: EarlG Aug 3 #1

You're welcome. Thank you EarlG and Elad Bernardo de La Paz Aug 3 #2

Sorry, I was not precise on one point: It is when I use the browser back arrow or ALT-back_arrow. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 4 #3

Before the updates, when I was on the Home page and clicked the lit-up "My Subs" tab progree Aug 6 #5

Yes, expected behaviour on websites, but DU was better than others. It enabled me to maintain a stack more easily. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 6 #6

Thanks. Putting a meta tag on the Lastest, Home, Subs, My Posts, and the two main indexes (GD,LBN) would go a long way Bernardo de La Paz Aug 7 #8

I would not recommend an auto-refresher extension for the reasons you state EarlG Aug 7 #9
