is there any way to force a refresh of the (# new) posts on the main page?

OK, probably dumb question, but is there any way to force a refresh of the (# new) posts on the main page? I know it's time delimited somehow, but beyond that I'm clueless. And is there a place around here I can find that kind of information? Thanks in advance, oh, expert-types.

Oh, and on preview, the links for 'About', 'Etc.' and 'Customize' don't work on the MeTa preview page.

I was similarly confused and asked this question.

Thanks, odinsdream.

I understand the reasoning, and I like the feature, but just for the record, it drives me crazy too. Especially during weeks like this where I need MeFi like a wounded soldier needs a morphine drip.

Thank you odinsdream, and of course, matt. I haven't before greedily sucked at the teat of MeFi like I have for the last couple of days, which is why I was confused.

Thank you odinsdream, and, by extension, matt. And swift, refreshing doesn't work (see odinsdream's link for why).
