We have a new feature installed here on Off Topix - Live Topics!

LIVE TOPICS



There's now no longer any need to refresh hot, popular topics, just as Chit Chat Zone or any other topic with a post made in the last 10 minutes.



If a thread has been posted within the last 10 minutes then its now considered to be Live. If other users are viewing the Live topic and are on the last page they will experience a clean ajax experience while talking to other members. This means the new posts made by other members will instantly appear like usual but without the need to refresh the page.



Once the thread is older than 10 minutes its no longer Live and it will now act like a normal thread. Also if a user edits one of their posts that's inside of the thread, it will be updated too so there is no longer a reason to ever have to refresh. Live topics can be identified by the

icon found next to the topic titles in the forums.





Enjoy!
 
I'm actually finding this quite annoying. Like im reading a topic and then suddenly the page refreshes...
 
The page does not refresh. A new reply appears instantly without refreshing the page. If the page were to actually refresh, it would interfere with / erase what you are typing during replying. We would not install something like that here.
