I think its clear, "auto refresh" is benefit to refresh the current page of any x time.

For example; you may put the codes in forumhome template's, so , the forumhome page is refresh after the x second without need your click any button or f5.

If you need it for vBulletin 4:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<!-- guest auto refresh -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="180" />
<!-- / guest auto refresh -->
</vb:if>

The code given for one usergroup is:

Code:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == x"></if> 
<!-- auto refresh -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="xs" />
<!-- / auto refresh -->
</if>

But that is wrong- $post['usergroupid'] is only valid in posts- the correct variable I believe the author meant is: $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']

And for multiple usergroups:

Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, x, y, z)"></if> 
<!-- auto refresh -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="xs" />
<!-- / auto refresh -->
</if>

Where x, y, and z and usergroupids... you can add more with additional commas.
