Another big spy satellite going up.... but not just yet... As usual, the PAOs look like fools when something happens that isn't in their script. :LOL: ?‍♂️

Could the new posts page be "refreshable"? When I click the shortcut in the "tool bar", the initial URL goes from "www.orbiter-forum.com/whats-new/posts/" to "www.orbiter-forum.com/whats-new/posts/930/". The "problem" with this is that if I then hit F5 it will refresh that "930" page (or...
