New Feature: Real time feed of new posts and threads

**Admin** · 01-08-2007, 04:00 PM

If you watch this screen, new posts and threads will show up on it in real time with no page reloads needed. Great for anyone that really likes to watch for new posts. I just leave my browser sitting open at this page now and see the latest new posts whenever I take a look at my computer screen without any need to walk over and hit refresh all the time.

I also added a link to it on the top nav bar named iSpy.

There is much more planned for the future.

Oh, so that's what iSpy does! I clicked on it and thought it was just a list of the most recent posts. Maybe you could have a description in the iSpy section that says, "Watch this screen for new posts as they're posted," or something.

Thanks for the feedback, I just edited it to include that for now.

Hmmm... iSpy doesn't work in Internet Explorer 5.0 I had to hit refresh to get it to display the new posts. Works just fine in my Firefox 2.0 browser, though.

Thanks for the info.

So you are the IE5 user!

Browser Versions - Internet Explorer 5.0 - Visitors This Week 1 - 0.43%

Have you not updated to 6 or 7 for any special reason? IE6 came out in 2001. Browing on IE5 probably isn't helping your spyware problem much.

A really computer literate dude told me 6 sucked and why (though I can't remember the reason), so I never upgraded. I heard about IE 7 lately, but read online some sucky experiences people have had with it, so I decided to skip it. But some websites don't work with IE5, so I got Firefox instead of upgrading.

Ah, IE5 will fall so out of favor that someday soon no one will bother making spyware for it anymore...

I don't know the security hole differences between the different versions. I'd assume they'd patch up old holes in the new ones, but that with the added features they'd open up some new holes. Anything I can read up on comparing the different browsers' security stuff?

EDIT to add: The only thing I don't like about Firefox is it won't save mht files (I hate having extra folders lying around) and my computer runs a little slower when I'm using it (probably because it's only 350 MGHz). Otherwise, it's pretty good.
