Is it that hard to refresh manually with F5, Ctrl-R, or the refresh button on the toolbar?

The BBS has to embed the META refresh tag to make this happen... There is kind of a hack you could do using HTML frames, though. If you have an HTML file on your PC that looks something like this, you should be able to browse that HTML file in your browser, which would then pull up the Empeg BBS as a frame. Not sure how elegant this solution is, but it should work...

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Empeg BBS</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="300">
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="http://empeg.comms.net/php/ubbthreads.php?Cat=&PHPSESSID=">
</FRAME>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
