LAShTAL.com Problems/Suggestions - Site Upgrade

Post subject: Site Upgrade
93,
With the idea in motion of an upgrade of Lashtal.com, it seems like a decent idea to give people an idea of what to look forward to. Perhaps in that way, more viewers/participants will be encouraged to aid in developing the Site. (If there is a list or something elsewhere, please accept my apologies.)
That said, I've noticed that while the Lashtal page does "refresh" itself over a period of time, sometimes the changes do not immediately show. Perhaps, in the upgrade, could there be a "Refresh" button that functions fully? I wait for the site to refresh, refresh it on my browser, log in/out, etc. sometimes just to make sure I am viewing the most up-to-date information. It would be wonderful if Lashtal.com could provide this ability with the click of a button, especially seeing how much traffic the Forums gets at times. Just another idea tho...

Thelema.nu had an excellent layout before it was hacked. Its posting page was a compilation of the homepage/forums page, in ex.
(Select option to show 1 day/ 1 wk/ 2wk/ 1 month)
(Recent Posts : 1 day)
CLASS A LIBRI
"post"..............................Posted Name......Last Post Name/Date
"post"..............................Posted Name......Last Post Name/Date
CLASS B LIBRI
"post"..............................Posted Name......Last Post Name/Date
RITUAL AND PRACTICE
"post"..............................Posted Name......Last Post Name/Date
In terms of speed there was another site (not Thelema related) in which I have used. It had an easy layout, only one, the most recent post, showed per heading.
CLASS A LIBRI..."most recent post"......Name/ Last Post Name
CLASS B LIBRI..."most recent post"......Name/ Last Post Name
CLASS C LIBRI..."most recent post"......Name/ Last Post Name
RITUALS............."most recent post"......Name/ Last Post Name
You would select the heading rather than the post.
(In ex. CLASS A LIBRI)
CLASS A LIBRI
"Most Recent Post"
"Class A post" |(Read/Reply).........................................................
"Class A post" | ..........................................................................
"Class A Post" | ..........................................................................
"Class A Post" | ...........................................................................
There would be a section of other posts filed under the heading to the left which could then be selected to read/ post reply.
I prefer the current layout of Lashtal.com, but if any revisions are being made, I thought all suggestions may prove useful.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions, which I'll consider in detail.
The changes will be announced in advance where necessary -- the development work is ongoing but I don't have a "ready for service" date as yet.
I'll keep everyone informed through these forums.
Meanwhile, I'm very happy to see any suggestions for improvement. PM or email me or add them to this list.

I believe that is what the 'Refresh' button on your browser is for.

Yeah, I've never had problems with refreshing the Lashtal page with the refresh/reload button of my browser. There's no reason to insert refresh buttons in web pages and usually I don't like automatic refreshes either.
Azidonis, if you still have the problem, you can try to reload with shift+refresh. This might help if your problem is that the page comes from some local cache.

Azidonis, As anpi said, you can try shift + refresh since it reloads the page from the server and not the cache from your harddrive.
If this doesnt help try updating your browser, if you are using Micro$oft Internet Explerror try downloading Mozilla Firefox instead. Its a hell of a lot better browser imo.
