1.70v3 If a redirect page, or any page with a "refresh" META tag is downloaded without images, and then the image(s) is/are inserted -- or if images are loaded but you hit <INS> to reload them, Arachne jacks up the 'refresh time' to a huge number ... something like 1000 seconds plus the original refresh time, or 775 seconds plus, or 9000 seconds plus. It isn't always the same amount ... I've seen 3 or 4 or 5 different ones, but *always* the "fly away time" is increased by an unrealistic & inappropriate period of time. If you reload the page you can see the time counting down ... 8, 7, 6 etc as it is supposed to; it is only the reloading of images that causes the incremental increase in refresh time. This can be tested on the following URL -- remember to turn OFF Autoload Images, and then after the page has loaded hit <INS> to load the image, then check the status line for how long the 10 seconds assigned to refresh have become ... Or if you have a fast machine you can load the page with the background image and quickly check the status bar before you hit <INS> to reload image; the countdown will then resume at some large number of seconds plus the original figure. http://www.b-for.org/friends/index.html The refresh on this page is set for 10 seconds ... and then you're taken back to the main opening page... as long as you don't insert images, or remember to reload the page after the image is downloaded. l.d. -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
