Shoutbox

I just use Mozilla's Auto-Refresh feature. If WDZ wants to make a switch, then he'll makes one, but if he thinks it's pointless, then  no auto-refresh.  I fourth it btw.

i must admit... it's very annoying =/

We got six people already noth liking it now . I think WDZ made a little mistake in his thinking. He probally thougth normally nobody would stay on the latest posts page for longer then a minute, only people who are waiting for new posts stay on pressing F5 on that page longer then a minute.
But that doesn't seem to be the case... when i check out the latest posts page i always leave that page open until i visited every post i didn't see yet (i open them in a new tab). Having the latest port page refreshed every time causes problems, also i can't keep easy track of which post i readed the last anymore.

I'd suggest one of these

• Completely remove the refresh thing.
  
• Have the refresh turned off and only turn it on when you press something like "Start Autorefresh" (should be able to stop it again too).
  
• A per-member option if you want to use the refresh thing or not.

How many people like the option?

Anyways, if people don't like it, well maby they should get the option to turn it off in the UCP. But, what about this. A toggle thing on the bottom of the page. Like in the shoutbox. Like if you click it on, it turns it on, if you click it off, it turns it off?

Didn't see anyone say they actually like it yet after WDZ announced he implented it. Maybe you? That makes one .

Kinda what i ment, although i would prefer the top of the page.

Im not bothered about the feature tbh, as long as I can turn it off.

I'll just delete the damn thing.

You can never make everyone happy...

Nooo, don't! I like it. Just give them a toggle thing like the shoutbox. I realy honestly do want this feature!

I agree with MenthiX.

I don't care, but some people would like that autorefresh be there.

that would imply that a new field to the user table had to be added to the db, and I don't think it's worth it.

hahaha can't you live without it?
well, use Avant Browser, for example.

I can live without it, be sometimes I am busy working on other things, and I get to the latest posts page, and the wander off and by the time I am back to that page the page has auto refreshed for me. But I do think that it should stay there, but like what MenthiX has sugested. Having a toggle thing link in the shoutbox would be awesome and a quick resolution to the problem with people liking/disliking it.
