Theres probably a 'Fn lock' on the escape key, give that a go.  Should be F5ing with the best of em after that.

That's strange alright.

I also have a Dell and all my function keys (F1 - F12) all have primary commands with the function - F5 for instance, being the secondary command. 

So to do a refresh, I hold the 'FN' key and hit F5. Pressing F5 without pressing the 'FN' key will only do it's primary command, which in your case is the volume

Sorted, just need to toggle the Esc button with the FN lock on it

No back in the F5 club.

I think he means Ctrl-F5, which forces the browser to get all the elements of the web page from the web-server again, instead of the more usual method of just getting everything that hasn't changed (by timestamp) from the local cache of stuff on your machine

Which could result in a no-deal refresh

it normally crashes and you need to refresh after every page if i remember from previous years.  So i believe its 

 

1. holding page (refresh till you get through)

2. Select your coach day (will crash so refresh till you get through to the next page)

3.Enter details (reference, postcode. will crash so refresh till you get through to the next page)

4.Departure destination and payment?

Trying to work this out on my mac. Can use either Command + r or fn + F5

Both look like they are refreshing everything. Not sure how to get around this...any ideas.

Apologies if this has been answered, but do not think so.

I have never had the pages following the "Purchase Ticket" page crash. Always plain sailing for me once I get past the holding page.

And from memory, I think departure destination is the first thing you enter after selecting the day for the coach, then reg. details (they may even be on the same page), then some disclaimer / confirmation of details, then the payment page

I *think* Command-r and fn-F5 are simply two different ways of refreshing a web page. Command-r is the 'normal' shorcut for it on Macs, but if fn-F5 is doing it too, then you've got a new option to do if you get bored with the other one!

Yep. Just like a normal refresh.....except it's hard.

 

 

Different refreshes for different... needs

Ok, now this thread had got me all in a tizzy. 

Am on hol in Johannesburg and will be using a Samsung Tab 6 tablet and a Galaxy 7 phone on wifi. Access will be via Chrome.

Not aware of an F5 option on this system so will be refreshing by hitting the curly arrow symbol  at top of screen next to Web address box.

Does that hard refresh our soft refresh? ?

That's the same as F5, ie. soft refresh (uses local cache)
