    Default New feature Ispy

    I have just added this thing : iSpy

    Please have a look at it for 5-10 mins and see if you like it I will put a link to that page on the forum if you guys like it.

    On this page you wont have to refresh the page for new posts ... they will keep appearing instantly as they are made on the forum... it will carry info like if you have posted in that thread or not and also if it a new post or a new thread.

    You can pause it as well by hitting the pause icon on the top right.

    Its old stuff, been there for ages..

    The reason you wont see on many forums is that it takes up lot of resources and not many forums are hosted on dedicated servers or can spare resources.

    Our forum has a core2 duo 9300 processor with 8gb ram and 2000 gb monthly data to push out so we can afford to use this mod.

    It doesnt make sense to have this mod on forums where you get less then 1 post per min... and we have now started getting 1 post ever min or two mins some times.

    I have voted "Yes" but I have some reservations particularly for admin. Since a contest is running now, some member are posting like mad. I am assuming that "contest ke baad ye sab antardhyaan ho jayenge".

    So will we need it during normal times?

    We dont have a link on the home page yet... I opened this thread to get members opinion on this feature if they would like to use it or not and if we have many people liking it then we can have a link to iSpy from home page and make this feature a part of the website.

    Its a norm on our forum to get members opinion and go with the majority in every decision we make here... and at times when I dont I do screw things up like this spamming wave hitting our forum was a direct result of not involving anyone in the decision making process

    Admin-ji pl. make this a permanent feature in the home page.
    Been a member of a lot of forums, but this is the first time I'm seeing this on an Indian Forum.

    That's a cool Modification. But, is it going to use extra bandwidth (data transfer) for the automatic refreshing every 7-8 seconds ?

    It's nice to have this feature in forum.

    It would use a tiny bit of extra bandwidth due to the fact that some of us like me would leave that page open and it would just keep updating itself without me doing anything so that way like I used to have just the home page open earlier and there used to be no data transfer but now it would be updated almost once o more per min it will sure use up more bandwidth.


    Bandwidth is not an issue for us because we already have a dedicated 2000GB quota and this is the only site on the server so no bandwidth issues yet

    2000 gb per month that is.

    It works as follows.

    1. Open the iSpy page. Default is "subscribed threads only" is unchecked.
    2. Let the page load completely and let the play complete.
    3. Now check "subscribed threads only". Refresh the page using the "reload" button from browser.
    4. It is working for me.

    Please post results if there is still a problem.

    Althougth I am not sure and I havent tried it either but once you tick that subscribed threads only thing then the new updates will be only from those threads you have subscribed to.

    This subscribed threads feature would have come handy if we had something like 5-10 new posts per min which is not the case as we only get about 1 post per min so its really very hard to miss something you ar looking for I guess.


    I will have a look into this

    Its actually on an average 1 post every 2 mins... there are 1440 mins in a day and we get about 800-1000 posts per day so it averages out to about 1 post per mins... althought at peak times I have seen more then 10 posts being made per min for almost an hour or so non stop... really depends what people are doing and what topics are open ...


    OK I have checked and that subscribed thread thing does work perfectly fine.

    Its like this you go to the spy page you get everything thats happening and once you click on the subscribed threads only thing you will only get updates from your subscribed threads.

    Please give me a shout if your thinggy isint working I will have a look for you.
