Jodo web site refresh problem

I was browsing the jodohost web site just now, and something weird was happening... I kept pressing my browser BACK button to go to the previous page, and nothing was happening! The same page stayed there, no matter how many times I pressed the back button.

Then I realised the page was constantly refreshing itself, creating a huge list of history items of the same page in my browser! See attached image.

Example page:
http://www.jodohost.com/linux-semi-dedicated-server.asp

I found the culprit is your visitcentric.net plug-in script. You'll have to decide if having chat updates on your pages is worth messing up your visitors' browsing experience. :)

In Firefox, I have AdBlock Pro installed - I gave visitcentric.net the flick and yay I could browse the site like a normal human being again.:) At least tell them to use the javascript function window.location.replace(url) instead because it doesn't affect browser history.
