Adding Post to Thread without page re-load

If you post (quick-reply) in Digitalpoint Forums, you'll find that the page doesnt reload - instead the post is just added to the thread without refreshing - using AJAX I guess. I think that's a really cool feature and have found this only in that forum. I dont think its part of vbulletin - must have been added by someone else.

I think thats a really good idea and should be implemented in other forums too.

What do you think ?

Thanks

Isn't AJAX a laundry detegrant? :P

Yes. This sounds like a powerful add-on.

Code: Select all

if ($Fastest_scripts == $Happier_people) {
     add-on("AJAX-posting-method");
}

It's not likely to happen with the existing forum codebase. It may happen in the new codebase being tentatively worked on...

There are complications about using AJAX as with any new technology. Consider the end post of a page. Most people work top to bottom. They go off looking at a topic in a tab and the next thing they know the "index" page has changed. Good design and user awareness is essential.
