Removing auto idle?

[Nicoleise]

Hi again


Back when Shoutbox 2.0 was made, I remember Matt mentioning something about shouts automatically pruning themselves after 3 hours, making pruning unnessacary, and something about the shoutbox only being updated when there was something to update (i.e. new shout or an edit), rather than updating all the time.

The later statement brings me to thinking ; If the shoutbox doesn't constantly load, do we then need the (slightly annoying) auto-idle feature? :)

I don't know if it still serves some purpose, but if we could be rid of it, I'd be happy :D Of course, if it does have some kind of intention, it should probably remain.

I guess Matt would know this best? :)

:whs: that would be cool to get rid of, if it doesnt cause the site to be slow or something. Nice post Nico :D

:agree:

auto-idle is annoying if you are -for example- only reading a convo at the shoutbox... not that i do that....

[Matt]

Removed - I missed this post :s

[Nicoleise]

No worries mate... :) Thanks alot for looking into it ;)

EDIT ;

It seemed to have been gone, it also seems to be back again ? It seems like the timer has just been set for longer ?

Anyhow, it's back and annoying me again, I would think this is done with that sole purpose in mind :D lol

Well, I don't think I've noticed it lately, can't remember for sure. maybe Matt can look into this.

[Matt]

Shouldnt bother you now, a setting reverted.

[Nicoleise]

Ah... That means I'm not going entirely crazy, only the usual slight crazyness peaking through :D

Thanks alot mate :)

now that we have a recent shoutbox topic, the shoutbox ain't loading for me at all, running FF2 (updated to the latest notFF3)
