I've just bought and installed something that makes posts appear live, without needing to refresh.

I'm a tad concerned with balancing it vs server resource, so for now, I'm testing this in the Everton Forum and World Football - and it should only work for people with a forum sub.

I figure it could be useful in match threads - but not sure if it'll just confuse with posts appearing without any refresh, or more hassle than it's worth. Would appreciate feedback.

Thanks

I thought we've had this for years? Was it ever a feature that GOT had in the past?

Can't recall to be honest, might have tried it before - but if so, only very short term.

That sounds like it's going to be intense on your servers for a match day thread or anything else rapidly updated.

We have had it in the past, as you say, it was very short term.

It's the world of tomorrow, today!

I for one, prefer yesterday, mind.

Hope this doesn't deprive you of luxury biscuits

A neg rep add on would be helpful too

Is that why I’m getting adds moving posts while loading in around again?

I click onto a notification and it takes me to the relevant post, then puts ads in which move the screen away from the post I was looking at, so I have to go find the post I was looking for again.
