Does anyone else think an auto-refresh feature for online.php would be cool? Set it to every X seconds (10, 30, etc), or keep it off. | |||

Yeah, I think that would be a nice addition. Or even cooler, get one of those bird-dipping things on top of F5. |

I would guess the biggest argument against this would be server load...every 10 (Or even every 30) seconds for a new call for data would add up fast, I think. | |||

I press F5 in online.php every 1 or 2 seconds and it doesn't seem to be killing the server. You can always use Opera to auto refresh... |

I think no, how hard is it to click refresh or hit F5 on the keyboard ?? I'd much rather you click refresh or hit F5 than to have my bandwidth wasted to no degree because you people stay camped on online.php with a refresh |

Originally posted by ErkDog I like how you say stupid things. At the moment, with 17 users and 6 guests showing up, online.php is a whopping, whopping... ...17kbytes. More specifically, 17,452 bytes in all. So, in order for someone to even make a dent in your bandwidth (1MB), they would have to refresh that page 59 times. Now, I don't see that as much of a problem, especially since in the past you have mentioned that you were giving the board a LOT of bandwidth (or unlimited). Please. Complain some more. I like it when you do. It gives my life purpose. As for making something like that (to stay on topic), it could easily be done. It's just that Acmlm will never get to it |

let's see.... 5 people on a 10 second refresh.... that's 30 reloads per minute..... 540k.... 32 Megs per hour 777 Megs per day 23 Gig's per month that's fucking stuipd and a waste of my bandwidth the entire board right now doesn't use anywhere close to that, which it would obviously if there were an average of 5 people w/ a 10 sec refresh on online users..... |

Originally posted by ErkDog Now, you're assuming that, for a whole month straight, which is 744 hours (44640 minutes) straight, there will always be 5 people on online.php refreshing every 10 seconds. Now if we remove minimal activity hours (Let's say 2 AM (Everyone getting off) - 2 PM(People getting home from school/work)), that's 12 hours removed. 17Kb * 30 = 510Kb (Thanks for skewing it) 510Kb * 60 = 30.6 Megs (Wow, that's a little less) 30600Kb * 12 = 367.2 Mb (With inactive hours removed) 367200Kb * 31 = 11.4 Gb (31-day month) Now, I once again doubt that for 12 hours straight, there will be 5 people refreshing the page. Let's average it out to (for this board) 2 users refreshing every 10 seconds. That would be about 12 refreshes/min. 17 * 12 = 204Kb 204 * 60 = 12.24Mb 12240 * 12 = 146.88Mb 146880 * 31 = 4.6Gb Now, I doubt it would be even THAT much. So I see no problem. |

either way with your gross underestimate....... that's 5 more gigs of bandwidth used.... for NO real reason.... the board only uses 12 gigs now..... so it would increase useage by almost 50 %..... which is..... -dumb- |

Yeah, there's no point to auto refresh it when you're gone (other than wasting bandwidth) ... and bandwidth does add up fast, even 1GB/month for online.php refreshing is a little silly I refresh online.php sometimes, but never for long, although I guess spying on people all day long might be fun for a while |
