Forum Index Auto Updates
    #6253154 -

I've modified the board index so it auto updates forum information in real-time. You will see new posts being made, and can watch the user count change as people move around the forums. I think it's pretty cool, it can be used to monitor the activity in your favorite forums and it makes the board seem less 'static' and more 'alive' (forgive the cheesy adjectives but you get the idea). I'm not sure what kind of impact it will have on people with slower computers or internet connections though, so please let me know if you have any problems!

Wow, so it's steaming like a chat room kind of now? That's cool. Will it still know to show us as offline after 10+ mins or whatever of no activity? (if we leave the browser sitting on the forum index and walk away)

Pretty much, yeah. :smile: If you leave it sitting at the forum index you will remain marked as online, but if you navigate away you will time out after 10 minutes like before. I can change this though.

I'll remember that and try not to keep it on the index unless at the computer - so people don't think that I'm online but just ignoring them or something.

Just saw a post pop up while viewing the index, so it works good on my crappy setup (my old computer and browser). :thumbup:

I am on IE 6.0, same version and it works for me. Did you leave it sit so you could see the pub and otd for a while paying close attention? Nothing happens or what? Does it show new posts after you refresh?

p.s. Are you even looking at the main index or are you in a forum?

Okay, should be fixed now! Blame Gomp, his extended characters were breaking the XML output in IE. :wink:

hmm, well the front page looks different, more lines dividing the forums on the bb index, ,but still not updating....

is it some sort of timed refresh option where it reloads every x seconds, or is it an instant update?

Yeah, it looks like there is now a small table border in the forum index which is new. I saw it change all of the sudden and was like "whoa", but I still think it's cool.

This is now a setting you can toggle; on the main forum index scroll to the bottom and check 'Monitor forum activity'. You may need to clear your cache to get the new Javascript. Hope some people find this useful!
