Title: real time updates
Post by: htimreimer on May 11, 2012, 10:10:27 am
one of my favorite feature of this forum is the who's online thing but the one thing that i find annoying is having to refresh the page to update the who's online thing and i am think real time updates would fix this
what do you think and is it even possible

Without getting into the stateless nature of HTTP, separate AJAX/jQuery implementation, etc... its possible, but the effort isn't necessarily worth the reward.

Fully agree. It's totally possible but I see little value to it.

... that's a little creepy.

However, I would like this be done for the newest game list on the main site.

That would be very nice.
