Activity Stream (NEW AND IMPROVED!)

[Xyvol]

For now, all we did was add a simple Javascript timer that refreshes the page every 30 seconds.

An annoying side effect of this is that it always returns to the first "page" when it refreshes. If I have clicked More Activity to read more posts, I have 30 seconds to do so before it refreshes and returns me to the original grouping.

I don't know anything about BBSes these days, but is there a way to force the page to refresh whenever someone submits their post?

Again, the webpage would need to be actively aware of forum activities in order to determine when to refresh. No such functionality was added (yet) so the best they can do would be to add a checkbox that allows you to toggle on/off the auto-refresh.
