I've turned the media embedding back on

and I've testing a new supporter feature called live topic. when thread is marked as live, when youa re in it new posts will just appear. without you needing to hit refresh. this will only go on in the busy threads. a listening thread should usually be live while that show is live.

as you can imagine, something like this could pound the servers. that's why I can't make it available to everyone. I'll need feed back from you all.

if the server is running shitty, I'll try turning off the media embed again and see how it runs with just this live feature. I'll test it the reverse way as well

this can be disabled in your profile on the options page, thread viewing options

this thread is already tagged as "live". I hate the graphic.

OMFG Mutt, that live topic feature sounds gangster! Thanks for all the hard work, man!

will be cool to see it actually works. I need people in this thread posting.

the new posts get added tot he bottom of the list where you'd expect them. the page will eventually get filled up and you'd have to click to the next page. I think it's set at 30 live posts as a cap. it'll need some tweaking for sure.

Hello

proper modulation

I'm thinking this feature will work well for the daily listening threads :dontknow:

Testes

I just saw a weird live topic refresh on a different page.

bu one just popped up here while I was quick replying. that worked perfectly

Just a quick observation Mutt. Some of the topics/new topics will show up as 5-20 replies yet it says no views. Just a wierd quirk, not really a problem.

just an observation

views are not updated immediately. they are done in batches.

if we had them update immediately, it would be harder on the server

I still have to refresh?

Nah, no refresh needed, son

I still have to refresh?

it's a supporter feature. so no live thread for you.

but you shouldn't refresh. you should click on the number at the top of the last post. that reloads the page without refreshing all the images. it'll work much quicker for you

Cool thanks.......Now get some sleep!! :)

that's a good plan

Working great for me Mutt. :bigup:

Been wishing for this feature mutt... haven't donated since '06... this will get me to re-up so I guess mission accomplised...

And thanks for the tip on clicking 'go to post #'

maybe I don't need to donate again aafter all

it wasn't working right but I just fixed it. now it works how it should. click that link an it reloads the page, brings you right back to that spot & the posts are updated. this is better than hitting refresh because when you do that, all the images & javascript need to be re-downloaded. doing it by click will be much quicker for you

I'm sure I'll have to tweak the times a little. we'll see how it is in the morning

By the way my Firefox is heavily modded and still works great. I am sure no browser will have a problem.

Mutt!!!

Can you tell me how to fix my sig? it has been fuxed since we came back to new sfn

Just you fuckers wait 'til the Mexicans infiltrate :hw:

Mutt!!!

edit it. that's it. you can't use the quote bbcode in your sig.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f365/captcaliber/img_0457.jpg

wow!!!!!!!!!!

Just you fuckers wait 'til the Mexicans infiltrate :hw:

We don't have messicans or blaeks here... damndest thing....

Coming from North Carolina, it's like a different world...

I am staffing my kitchen for summer season... I would give my right arm for three mexican prep cooks or dishwashers... they work so much harder than these hippie burn-out ski bum white kids it's amazing

I love mexicans.... everyone who bitches about illegal immigrants should get a fucking work ethic and maybe they wouldn't take your job

edit it. that's it. you can't use the quote bbcode in your sig.


I have no idea what that means Mutt... edit it to what? I don't know what bbcode means

I have no idea what that means Mutt... edit it to what? I don't know what bbcode means

It means use italics and shit to make the quote, like

"BlowinMyMind up is my mult - Mutt" or some shit

wow!!!!!!!!!!

try this one

I don't know why it did that

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f365/captcaliber/IMG_0515.jpg

It means use italics and shit to make the quote, like

"BlowinMyMind up is my mult - Mutt" or some shit

but I want it in the grey box, as it appears when you quote someone... as it appeared in the original thread when he posted it

neat

I'm only postwhoring this thread to help... Mutt said post so I post

Well, tough shit mofo. If you don't like it you can GTFO :fuckyou:

this is like IM on a message board :cool:

Well, tough shit mofo. If you don't like it you can GTFO :fuckyou:

I don't not like it... but there are plenty of ppl with the grey quote box in their sig which mimic the look of when you quote a post

why isnt it working on my machine..waaaaa

mutt,
is there a reason why some supporters see it and some dont?
i still have to refresh..is there something i have to do? i use firefox..:dontknow:

as you can imagine, something like this could pound the servers. that's why I can't make it available to everyone. I'll need feed back from you all.
if will strain the system, why bother? it's not like people are incapable of clicking the refresh button

I never understood the attraction of embedding either... it takes the same single click to start an embedded video as it does to start a linked video... and the presence of embedded videos slows down the thread loading

but I want it in the grey box, as it appears when you quote someone... as it appeared in the original thread when he posted iti splained before that you have to go back to the original post..i think anyway.. but try the code shit

No more hitting refresh?! Wow! I didn't know that was possible!!

Cool

waaaa..doesnt work for me

waaaa..doesnt work for me

Consider yourself lucky. It's kinda annoying.

Consider yourself lucky. It's kinda annoying.

I agree, especially when you're doing a "quick reply" with the page moving all over the place.

well for some reason i dont see it , here or the listening thread...

I'm having a tough time getting used to the "live" listening thread, Mutt. I feel like the thread is running past me, and I'm not sure if I've missed posts, because they keep streaming by while I'm responding.

I love this feature but I think it's not meant for a busy thread like the morning listening thread.

I really like this new feature Mutt!

Dammit. If somebody likes it, I can't say "turn it off" with a clear conscience. How about making it optional for users to turn on "live threads" in their control panel?

remove the quote tag from your sig. you aren't allowed to use quote.

delete your sig and make a new one

I'm having a tough time getting used to the "live" listening thread, Mutt. I feel like the thread is running past me, and I'm not sure if I've missed posts, because they keep streaming by while I'm responding.

there's nothing to stop you from clicking back thru the thread like you used to.

besides, like I said, I need to tweak it. this is the day 1 test

I don't like the feature at all. It makes it impossible to use quick reply and when you do reply and go back, the other posts you've already read, reload again.

I don't not like it... but there are plenty of ppl with the grey quote box in their sig which mimic the look of when you quote a post

I said, YOU can't use it. even if see other people who can. if you see other people being able to do something you can't, maybe liek this it's something only supporters can do.

go into your usercp to the edit sig page
http://www.sternfannetwork.com/forum/profile.php?do=editsignature

under Signature Permissions, you'll see what code you can & can't use.

this thread is already tagged as "live". I hate the graphic.

The graphic got my attention

I am having a tough time with this, as I am typing something in quick reply, it refreshes, and I can't quote someone in quick reply

my work computer is slow, so no live threads for me at work

I keep timing out

I made a profile option to turn it on/off

not sure it it works right yet.

I keep timing out

really, i'm not seeing anything like that

got this message this morning in a thread that was started this morning, and only had 30 posts in it :scratch:


" The maximum amount of posts on this page can display has been reached. Posts will now start to disappear from oldest to newest."

I am having a tough time with this, as I am typing something in quick reply, it refreshes, and I can't quote someone in quick reply

my work computer is slow, so no live threads for me at work

quote has never worked in quick reply. quotes have always gone to the full reply form

as for the quick reply box moving, yeah, that's annoying

The graphic got my attention

that's a new graphic

I made a profile option to turn it on/off

not sure it it works right yet.

Thanks, Mutt. You rock.

Mutt I'm liking this feature . :)

Feature appears disabled now.

I'm testing a new supporter feature called live topic. when thread is marked as live, new posts will just appear without you needing to hit refresh. it's much like in a chatroom or instant messenger. this will only go on in the busy threads. a listening thread should usually be live while that show is live.

as you can imagine, something like this could pound the servers. that's why I can't make it available to everyone.

this can be disabled in your profile on the options page, thread viewing options

the message you got that means live topic is on in that thread and you are at the max allowable per page posts. as the new posts automatically appear a the bottom of the page, you'll eventually get to the max allowed posts on a page. if left unchecked, a listening thread could get 100's of posts long on 1 page which wouldn't be good. once the page maxes out, as new posts get added to the bottom, old one get stripped off the top. they aren't being deleted or anything. it's like the page is set on auto refresh and auto scroll.

ok, thanks :btu:

No more hitting refresh?! Wow! I didn't know that was possible!! it has been for years, maybe you need to get out more :D

so if i have mine set at 100 per page it wont work? because that feature doesnt work for me

so if i have mine set at 100 per page it wont work? because that feature doesnt work for me

no it's nothing like that. it still adds new posts to the thread. it just controls the length of the page by stripping away posts at the top as it adds posts to the bottom


if you aren't seeing it it's because you either
- you aren't a supporter
- have live topic disabled in user control panel.
- you have some weird browser that doens't do ajax
- you have an adblocker installed that's blocking he google ajax scripts


for you personally, lets figure it out. it's not 1 or 2.

what browsers, version, & OS do you have?
do you have ad blocker or script blocker installed?

wow....sounds like a great idea....i never even knew that was an option on a message board

quote works for me in quick reply, I replied to this post in quick reply

really? not for me. are you using internet explorer?

different browsers & browser settings will get different options. like the little dropdown boxes in the header menu. not everyone will see those. some people will just have a link w/ no little arrow next to it. quick reply / quote might be like that.

please tell me some details
- what browser, version & OS are you on
- what exactly are you clicking on to quote in quick reply?


when I click the quote button in firefox 3 it goes right to the full editor.
when I add multiple people to quote, same deal

ok, it was temp off for everyone. it's back on now. if you dont' want it, disable it in your profile on the options page under thread viewing options.
