Will invisionboard ever have AJAX

[Qasim]

Invision board is a much cleaner and reliable board than vbulletin - but there is one vb feature which would be nice

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/what_is_ajax

AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) allows your browser to send data to and receive data from a server without reloading the current page. This technology, whose use is being pioneered by Google, allows developers to create rich, fast-responding interactive pages.

This allows people to add replies without refreshing

Any chance this could ever be implemented in IPB?

[.John.]

I'll let you in on a little secret:

It's already implemented in lots of places :)

[Qasim]

So it will be implemented soon then

[.John.]

No, it already is :)

It's in the latest version you can download, it's on the board you are currently viewing.

[Qasim]

Is it?

Hmmm..the vbulletin one is much faster and my screen still looks like its refreshing but the quick edit feature shows that its here

I suppose this is what you get for being too lazy to upgrade :D

[.John.]

It is. ;)

[Qasim]

For some reason the vb one is much faster it just appears in front of you the ipb one is a bit slower thanks for the help

*off to upgrade*

ipb quick reply does refresh the page unlike vbulletin's.

The fast reply in IPB is NOT implemented through Ajax

AJAX is AJAX....I couldn't really see how one would be much quicker than the other. THIS would really depend upon the server you are browsing. ;)

As for AJAX quick reply, I think it should be implemented myself. :)

I agree, I'd really like to see AJAX fast reply :)

How about add that as a small treat for IPB 2.1.4 Brandon? No one said new features are only for major releases ^_^

I thought that fast reply had ajax so at that time it seemed slow to me but it was actually refreshing the page

If you have AJAZ enabled quick reply, the page would not be refreshed so posts made in between the time you read and reply would not be shown. Personally I'm not keen on the idea. Also, some hand-held devices do not support some of the AJAX techologies fully so you wouldn't be able to reply to topics with them.

On vBulletin forums it also displays the posts made inbetween when you reply

I meant Quick Edit, ipb refreshes the page.

I recall a lot of folks having problems getting that to work properly. Maybe it's working fine now, worth a try for sure.

[Qasim]

The mod isnt compatible with the latest version

The problem with a fast reply AJAX is that you won't be able to see any posts that were posted in between the time you posted and someone else did. Besides, AJAX fast reply only makes it a second faster than normal quick reply, so there's really no point.

on vBulletin posts inbetween are also shown fast reply uses xml to post the reply and communicate with the server and javascript to display it not the other way round
