One small thing I notice, which is a little annoying is the following.

If I return back to the main index page after reading one of the threads or boards, the index does not auto-update when I do so.

I have to do so by means of pressing F5.

If someone posted in Number Crunching while I was visiting the Cafe, is does not immediately show up when I press the BACK-button in order to return to the previous page and in the end the main index page.

In comparison, PrimeGrid has such a feature built into their main index page and my suggestion is that this should be implemented here as well.

Thanks!

Browser dependent. Some browsers do the update, others don't

Primegrid doesn't auto-refresh any of its indexes on my browser (Pale Moon 25.0.2 (x64)). It's even using older forum software, without pages in threads. A feature available since 2012.

But the thing of reloading is easily solved: instead of using the back button, click e.g. the Number Crunching link top or bottom of the thread you're in (depending, that it isn't a 592 posts thread without pages and you're in the middle of it, and that you're in a thread in the Number Crunching forum).
