You would need to place an iframe where than portal is, with a web page like:

http://futbolli.myfreeforum.org/refreshedportal.html

in it.

the

refreshedportal.thml

would have something like:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="200;URL=http://futbolli.myfreeforum.org/refreshedportal.html">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
{MYFF.LATEST}
</BODY>
</HTML>

admin (no pm's please)

Note that auto-refreshing pages will hit the server, we do log what goes on, and if anything like this was to create an issue a forum will be suspended to avoid everyone else suffering.

Thanks

I created the webpage http://futbolli.myfreeforum.org/refreshportal.html

What code would I enter now in cms_index_body.tpl instead of

To answer both questions, to the first one of what code to use, the simple answer is that I don't know exactly.

I can't just produce complex html correctly off the top of my head, we recommend people who want to play with complex stuff do learn the html needed.

As for what is a problem, 3 posts refreshing every 5 minutes on a page view by a few dozen people might not be a problem, if that page is refreshing every 30 seconds and has 100's of viewers it would be a different story, personally I am against such pages, I think if a user wants a refresh then let them press F5 when they want to see it.

If it is for a live score presumably it is not aimed at our server at all

But other servers might have the same issue with it!

But do not take my comments as a threat, we are not out to get our members, my comments are simply something that makes sense to have on the record.
