It has annoyed me for ages that when I'm reading the slashdot main page, from time to time new stories are automatically loaded, pushing down the one I'm reading and making me lose my place. Recently it's gotten worse - instead of using AJAX to update the display it actually loads a whole new page, http://slashdot.org/?source=autorefresh.Is there any setting or preference on the site to turn off this annoyance and put me back in control? (I'd prefer not to resort to installing a browser extension or using a modifying http proxy)
How to disable slashdot autorefresh?
