one thing you can do in your browser is select "work offline" under "tools" this will make the webpage disconect fron the net & when you select a new topic it will log you back in

yeah I looked in to it & it seems that there isn't an "work offline" option in chrome sorry , you could use firefox or IE9 they both have it , sorry I had the same issue & started going offline but I use IE9 didn't know GC didn't have it till now there are ways to see old webpages from your history in GC but that wouldn't help with your issue

You could try the New Topic RSS feed instead. The topics shouldn't update until you update the RSS feed (depending on the RSS reader your using.)
Although I haven't looked into the code, I suspect that the method of refresh may be a _javascript that runs and automatically updates at specific intervals. In most cases timers for refresh start as soon as you access the page so you have an idea of how long you have before the page refreshes. I'm guessing that the oldest topic will drop off first so maybe if you started at the bottom and worked your way up you might be able to read all the headlines before it refreshes. The only other possible solution I can think of is to dig into the code of the page and figure out how to pull out the elements that display the new topics and create a "hacked" page that won't refresh unless you want it to. Also, check to make sure that your browser doesn't have any odd toolbars or add-ons/extensions that might be prematurely causing the page to refresh.

it was ok about half a year ago. the website didn't refresh on its own and the new topics just added. then there was a problem. see here:

i guess to fix this, somebody else repaired it, not the original programmer. since then it is refreshing.
