just try it and surprised that it is not using ajax? discussed before ?

I think it's good that it isn't using ajax, that there is a little time-pain to update your status. Otherwise folks would use it as a shoutbox!

I just realized that too, and somehow I remembered it was AJAX, wasn't it?

well, what is wrong if it beocmoes shoutbox?

Could be a shoutbox 'feature'... be nice to have a scroll bar to see more updates

any words from officials?


not really attractive for members if one line of text reload whole page..

I don't really think the refresh is a big deal, but we may ajax it at some point, I don't really know right now. The best I can tell you right now is that we will consider it :)

Something other people have already touched on, but I think you guys have unintentionally created a built-in shoutbox with this.

The problem is really the refresh... But it's look like Facebook and it's appreciated by french poeple ! it's a good way to go !

Linked with Twitter, this would be awesome and integrate the community even more for those who want that facility I know some don't but some do

just curious
IPB use manay ajax around, but why make this NOT ajax?
do you try to "avoid" from letting it conflict with shoutbox?

fresh is of course a big deal, otherwise why IPB use ajax so much XD?

It's not like they went out of their way to have it not use ajax, I just think they didn't forsee that folks would want to have it work like a Shoutbox (since that's not what it's intended to be).

Not every form submission needs to use ajax in my opinion. I'm fine with a good ol "submit to server, refresh page" form submission now and then...

You're just hardcore Brandon

I'm not really sure what it is any more, it does look like people are using it as a "shoutbox" whether that was the intention or not.
PS i'm all for ajax myself :P

ajax status updates linked to either twitter or facebook would be awesome!

Just saying for you guys, these guys created a Multi Account Twitter Tweeter in four days, which to me basically shows that Twitter can't be hard to do with the right stuff and right knowledge. It shouldn't be that hard for the experts to try to integrate IPB and Twitter together.
