Quote from teedot :im no javascript expert... but that looks like it would only show the correct page after 60 seconds... and after which it would not refresh.
setTimeout is usually used to delay execution on a particular part of a script rather than refreshing.

such as:

setTimeout(wait.hide(), 1500);

is a snip from a web page i made that has a 'Please Wait' overlay. That code hides it after 1.5 seconds.

it doesn't even refresh once

do I need to add something like this?
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]<[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]script[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]>
<!--
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008000]var version = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
// replace is supported
if (version>=4 || window.location.replace)
setTimeout("window.location.replace('')",60000);
else
window.location.href = ""
// [/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]-->
</[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]script[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]>

except for refreshing that page instead of forwarding you to another one...

The Clutch Burning

Quote from Woz :Post a replay. Whenever ANYONE says its wrong they are NEVER willing to post a replay to show what they believe is the issue.

As others have said, only a few complain and they are ALWAYS at fault.

BTW: If you have not tweaked you clutch pedal in DXTweak your clutch on the G25 does not operate ANYTHING like yours real cars pedal. By default with G25 the clutch is on ever fully in when pressed 100% down and fully out when lifted 100%. Your real car probably has about 20-30% of travel that actually does anything.

Totally agree

Quote from JO53PHS :You use Synthasite right?

On the content sidebar, there are various folders (such as Photo Gallery, Video, Widgets, Forms etc.)

Under widgets, there's an RSS Reader... i think this will be the right thing. Insert one of those

Probley safer, better and easier to do it this way...

Q. Are you going to tell us when there are new Test Patches and Final Patches?

P.S. Love the site mate, it looks awesome

The Clutch Burning
Follow these instructions and you will never get a hot clutch again!!! :D

It is simple... (I'm 15 years old and I have known this ever since I was 12 :razz

I guess it takes a while for some people (no offence )

Follow these instructions and you will never get a hot clutch again

Manual Shifter:
1. Clutch in
2. Throttle off
3. Change gear
4. Clutch out
5. Throttle on

or...

1. Throttle off
2. Clutch in
3. Change gear
4. Clutch out
5. Throttle on

It depends how fast the rpm drops really...
Once you get the hang of it it is easy

Sequential:
1. Throttle off
2. Gear up
3. Throttle on

or...
You could leave the throttle on and let your clutch heat up a bit

Enjoy being able to finnish a race with all of the clutch that you joined the race/cruise with

Definatly the:
Dell XPS 420/1159 with 22" TFT

Way better, the computer will use the graphics card more than the ram, 3 GB is big enough... I usually see people getting 2GB of ram with that setup
