> what is this "refreshing the page" business all about? Look at a calender and note the year. Now realize that NSCA Mosaic was released in 1993. Eternal September was in 1993 as well. That is almost 20 years ago. Do you really think that 'refreshing the page' is beyond 99% of peoples knowledge? That error message does need cleaning up but your target audience are most likely not fetuses, so don't treat them like they wouldn't be able to put their pants on in the morning if you didn't tell them how to in excruciating detail, despite doing it every day, when they visit your site. Oh excuse me, a 'website' or a 'site' is a virtual location accessed through a 'web browser'. A 'web browser' is a program that is used to access 'web sites' over an interconnected series of networks called 'the Internet'. I know you said you're a developer and may be able to figure this out for yourself but as you said 99.9% of people wouldn't, I wasn't going to take that chance. Was it too advanced for you? Also depending on the issue 'might be logged out' may be completely correct. Obviously something has occurred that is making part of the webapp believe something has gone wrong, but it probably still has "Welcome [username]" or "Logged In" at the top of the page. Reloading the page is really the only way to verify something really bad is going to happen.
