I'm guessing that there is no default setting for how often ET checks postings and sends alerts, at least within a 30 minute period that I just tested. So let's say you are in a heated debate over whether Baron is the richest man in Florida or just the 2nd. In order not to fall behind in the debate, you have to keep reloading or clicking on New Posts. And even if you get mail notifications, those may be delayed too. If it would not crash ET's system, would it be possible to have a function to where the user could set a period for ET to check for updated postings, to say as short as 1 minute? Thank you for considering this.
