You could note down all the servers that you regularly visit, open and edit
the baseq3/config.cfg file to include the servers in your 'favorites' list,
and then be able to see the status of the servers instantly when you check
the ingame list.

There's also a way to have the ingame browser only refresh servers under a 
ping that you designate like, 150 for example. It usually refreshes in about 
30 seconds or less. Problem is, I forget how. I think you add a line to your 
autoexec, or to q3config.cfg. I just don't remember what that line is. 
Anybody?

Wow. Now the list refreshes in about ten seconds. Thanks!

Which q3config.cfg file?  I have loads of them, where, exactly, is the file 
located?

Thanks.

Try quoting the relevant text from the post you are replying too, it will 
help people understand what you are talking about.

Of course he does, he just felt like taking the piss out of a noob.  If he 
had said that and answered my question I would have been grateful for both 
the answer and the advice, as it is I think he's dick.

Doesn't matter as I worked it out anyway.

The question was retarded anyway... anyone with the ability to actually edit 
a text file should be able to figure out where the main q3config is. Like I 
told Erol when he emailed me, if you are too lazy to ask a question in a 
decent and thoughtful manner, you shouldn't expect much of an answer.
Ask a stupid question..... Get a stupid answer. ;D
