How is live posting different then what we’ve been doing?

What does "live posting" mean?

Ditto

The page doesn’t have to refresh when a post is made. Also unsure but new posts might show up as well without a refresh. I haven’t been in a higher traffic thread to see if that’s the case

I don’t think I’ll enjoy that

Pretty sure it’s the same as before. You get a notification above your post that says something like ‘post has been made since…’ or something. The PBP for the UFC thread wasn’t live in the sense that posts automatically appeared; you had to refresh or hit the ‘view posts button’.

@Lethal please add that to things we need to talk about besides house of the dragon.

Post again. I want to see if it shows up.

Edit: Nvm, I do see the post below this one without the refresh

Dreading Thanksgiving travel. Anyone else trekking somewhere?

I think they did test one PBP as truly live before and it didn’t go well because of how fast the thread moved. The page definitely refreshed after posting though right ?

Are you asking me for more?

 

[Sara]

I already do everything around here

Indeed, the place is growing up.

 

[panem-et-circenses]

Btw, you can like old posts.

Oh my god ICQ lol. My dad used to say he’d monitor my icq and msn messenger conversations but quit after about a week of me talking about makeup and what underwear wouldn’t be visible with my low rise jeans

 

[irish_thug]

go on...

The rule was if my parents saw my ass crack or thong, I’d have to wear overall jeans like I did as a toddler.

Another thing is the post number shows on vertical mobile. I think old format you had to turn the phone sideways to see it. Most people probably don’t use it but it’s useful when linking a specific post in a thread instead of the thread itself.

I just took a look. Its definitely not using web sockets. Looks like network polling and only when you start to type out a draft.

So I have to type in the box to trigger new posts?
