I'm Not Crazy, Its just new!

[Spider]

I recently started to notice that if I am logged in and stay at the events page, it will update by itself. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just crazy? I have been distracted, which is why I stay at the events page long enough to notice it.

If this is whats suppose to happen, wow, great change...but I don't think the bugs have been fixed yet. I get some errors sometimes.

I thought I noticed it once, no clue though, and not enough events to see if it will happen again.

bummer someone already bet me to it... Well anyway.. Na, na, na... I'm 3rd one to notice it and report it to the forums

Egads! Sorry man, I posted a topic about this to! Didn't bother to read your post before I posted mine cause I didn't think it would be related to mines (I checked to see if anything was update! thingy)

It's kinda cool, I guess. I think I'd rather choose when to refresh myself though. Will there be an option to turn it off, like the map thing? I still need to check it out a little more before I really waver either way.

Awesome! We got auto-refresh! Look to the left of the Talk-To-All button thingy, isn't that autorefresh?

Wow, sweet. Also, for me its to the right of the talk to all, but it seems to refresh every 15 seconds. So yay, I'm not crazy! Maybe I should change the title...

Well, I like it since it doesn't refresh if nothing new has been said (which should keep it from deducting minutes), but I'd still like to see a way to turn it off without disabling all Javascript content. When I'm at work, sometimes I'll log in and go to an event page, but I'll get distracted by, well, work, or coworkers or something and forget I have it up. If it's a fairly active place at that moment, I could lose lots of minutes if I forget I have it up. Usually if I realize I've left it up, and I'm not sure how long (quite often), then I just log back into Cantr.

So that's what the faded countdown numbers are for......*nods*

Is there anything preventing you from doing that?

Automatic refreshing doesn't eat your minutes.

Uhm, the reason there was a second post was because I did check it out. Otherwise there would have only been one post. Sorry I didn't say "Oh, I checked it out now." in my second post.

So if the page refreshes when something is new, it doesn't take any minutes away at all, even if it's been over five minutes since you went to the action page? Does it do it when you'd refresh the page yourself using the browser functions?

And ceselb said in IRC something about if you're reading a long conversation trying to catch up; what if you don't want it to refresh while you're doing that? If you'd rather read the conversation, log out then log back in to see what's new since and maybe use the auto-refresh once you're caught up and ready to read all the new things as they're posted? Guess just log out, backspace and read?

No it doesn't spend any minutes if you manually refresh the page. It only does after you click something. Or so I've gathered. At least if people idle on the character list page, they can click refresh without using minutes.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

I knew it didn't on the character list page. I just thought it did on the action page. Thanks.

Just gotta remember to log if it's been very long. Just like before.
