Resolved New posts are showing up in the middle of threads again

[Kat]

I'm seeing new posts in the middle of threads while catching up on Wolf again. So either some change you made to fix the other issues also broke that again, or it's something to do with long and/or active threads.

I wonder if, as a workaround, instead of preventing the posts from popping up, we could just make it more obvious somehow that they're new posts? Like making them a different color or putting a banner on them or something. That would prevent confusion in long, active threads and still allow it to work the same otherwise.

Is it possible to just have the message that says there are new posts without having the new posts themselves show? Then when clicking on it, it can take you to the newest post

Grr. Lol, ok, more digging time

I saw posts popping mid typing messages as well as the messages have been posted thing. This was in the middle of the last hour of wolf nonsense today.

Ok, I think we're going to completely disable the real time stuff for now. It's just a problem, nothing more. As much as I enjoy it, it's not useful in the larger threads and it can't be deactivated on a per-thread or per-forum basis.

Edit -- done, it's disabled for now until the developer can further refine this technology.

It never actually stopped for me (I also see a bunch of duplicate posts too). Hopefully the disable will stop that.

Yikes, yeah, hopefully no more of that!!

I started seeing duplicates too when the Wolf thread got really crazy, which I hadn't seen happen before.

 

[Crystal]

Wow, Wolf really helping to bug test, lol

Well hopefully no more of that!!

Those duplicates you’re seeing *should* vanish by the time you exit out of the thread and enter it again. I’ve experienced this issue before, and sometimes refreshing doesn’t correct it, but the first method does.

Not that it matters now, but… for the sake of wondering if they stick around, they should not.

Hopefully the developer can fix this ASAP so we can re-introduce this properly.

Yeah, but it’s a luxury function, thankfully. If this is one modern convenience we have to sacrifice to have all the capabilities these forums have now, that’s not really so bad.

Very true, we'll still be fine
