Homepage Refresh

Is it possible to have the homepage refresh itself every so often? I find myself refreshing it every so often to check for forum updates. If it already does then ignore this. I haven't noticed.

Not a really great idea. Who wants a page to auto refresh just as they're getting into reading some detail stuff. Just invest the energy to hit F5 when you need to.

If you use Firefox, there's an extension called Reload Every which allows you to reload every X minutes.

Gmail does pretty good at reloading, whenever you are in inbox it works reloads every x minutes, when you're writing a mail it doesn't.
But I don't think it's very good idea on this forum.
