JForum

Listings do not refresh after a new topic is added. Have
to click the refresh of the browser context menu.

I think you need to add no-cache or no-store to http
header.

Check out http://www.talkbackforum.com/ to see on
way JForum is being used. I have made minor
modifications such as removing the date/timestamp from
the output (for space reasons) and other minor
reformatting. No major changes to share with the group
as I have not used the framework used to make JForum.
Basically I'm driving it through html frames and javascript.
