Suggestion

[Hawkeye]

Is there some sort of HTML code that can allow each thread to refresh every 30 seconds or something, that way the user can see new posts in case a new subject or something gets up?

Thoughts?

[Old Manus]

It's called the refresh button

[Psychotic]

That'd be extremely annoying when you're trying to read the damn thing. Can't you just hit the refresh button after you've finished reading or before you post anyway?

EDIT: I didn't refresh before I posted and Old Manus caught me out! Do as I say, not as I do.
EDIT2: Although we posted at the same time and therefore Hawkey3's new thing wouldn't have prevented the intense humiliation and embarassment I am suffering from.

[Hawkeye]

We never speak of Hawkey3, ever.

EDIT- Or Trey Time
EDIT2- Or Toadeye

[Psychotic]

OK, whatever you say, Trey Time.

[Meat Puppet]

did clout do that for the who is online part or was I dreaming?

[Old Manus]

Old Manus > Psychotic

EDIT: I didn't refresh and MP got in before me :cry:

It's called going outside, enjoying life, and coming back to see if there are any new posts.

[eestlinc]

Yams, have you ever been outside?

Now thats a statement that could contradict itself

[Vyk]

Maybe set a variable in the profile settings for an amount of time for a refresh rate. For those of us that like it as it is, set it to null :D

[Primus Inter Pares]

I've been outside all day.

[escobert]

I haven't it's been snowing!

[Samuraid]

It would be annoying. Is it ever so hard to simply press F5 or click the refresh button as Psy and Old Manus suggested? :rolleyes2

[crono_logical]

It wouldn't be hard to add that little meta refresh to every page on the site, but no :p

[Denmark]

Imagine what that would do to the poor souls who still use dial-up. Loading the whole page again, with one new post? Bah, humbug.

[The Man]

Actually, theoretically the Jelsoft people could use the same kind of new code that puts your new post on the same page without reloading it to check for new posts in a thread after a specified interval and insert them if they were found, so it wouldn't reload the whole page at all. But don't expect me to bother doing all that :skull::skull::skull::skull: :monster:

[Yamaneko]

You'd still have to load a massive amount of content, especially if it's an active thread like the Ciddies, where people are constantly posting/editing. It would be very annoying, not to mention taxing on the database. F5 is about two inches away from the letters on a keyboard, so I don't see a big problem here.

[DMKA]

I click the link back to the forum and click the link to the thread again, because I don't trust the refresh button.

[crono_logical]

I click the link back to the forum and click the link to the thread again, because I don't trust the refresh button.Why not click the link to the thread directly? I added a direct link in every thread back to itself quite a while ago :p

[Strider]

Ctrl+R

[Yamaneko]

Why not click the link to the thread directly? I added a direct link in every thread back to itself quite a while ago :p


That was you? I thought that was something they added to vB 3.5.x. :p

[crono_logical]

No, I got annoyed by the fact the whole thing was clickable except the thread title itself, especially when I wanted to refresh :p

[Loony BoB]

Summary of thread: "Can we?" "No."

[eestlinc]

Why not click the link to the thread directly? I added a direct link in every thread back to itself quite a while ago :p
and I love you for it, too.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, I didn't even notice until you said something. That's awesome, Arch.
