Auto Update

[el_d00der1n0]

How about a gmail-ish auto update? You could have a timer running that uses an ajax proc to retrieve the latest search result for unread posts.

Id just like to see a HOME or TOP button on the bottom of every page. So when you are reading a thread and its very long you dont have to scroll back up to the top.

There's a home button on your keyboard isn't there?

Actually no lol. I have the small apple wireless keypad and I am sure there is a Function command to go home prob F+H or something but I just thought it would be cool to have a top button on the site.

i have a "TOP" button at the very, very bottom of the page. Below the similar threads section on the right.

"Home" takes me to the top of the page.

Alt-leftarrow takes me to the previous page which sometimes is STR's home page, but it's the cached view not the latest view.

I think you can accomplish the auto-update with a greasemonkey script. If you're not running Firefox, you'll have to turn in your geek card.

I use RSS for 75% of my web surfing. I would like that feature expanded upon. With respect to auto-update I would settle for a META refresh tag on the home page.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="150">

Yes. That and Galeon are acceptable alternatives.

Notice no one is praising Konqueror.

Konqueror! Bah! Worse than the People's Front of Judea! Splitters!

Now that makes sense. Run a text browser through ssh on XP.

Your mad because you paid $40 and I get the ad-free version for nothing.



Why run cygwin when I have a working group of linux host on my home network?

I don't know about that. I see a switchback advert there in your screenshot.

Meh. Real geeks use wget to read STR.
