I agree [-Stash-], I definitely would not use such a plug-in.
One of my more resourceful members loaded my forum into a frame and used JavaScript in another frame to reload/refresh every 5 minutes.
I include this script on every page to fix his little red wagon! <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if (parent.frames.length > 0)
{
parent.location.href = self.document.location;
}
</script>
<html><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">
<form name="counter"><input type="text" size="8" name="d2"> seconds until refresh</form>
<script><!--// var milisec=0 var seconds=300 document.counter.d2.value='30'function display(){ if (milisec<=0){ milisec=9 seconds-=1 } if (seconds<=-1){ milisec=0 seconds+=1 }
else milisec-=1 document.counter.d2.value=seconds+"."+milisec setTimeout("display()",100)}display()--></script>
</html>
this is set up for every 5 min, which is as frequent as you need
Also, you can do this with FireFox and certain extensions already. I think Opera also does it... I just don't think it's something that should be encouraged is all. If you do have a good reason for it though...

Isn't that what RSS feeds are for?
