the first step in converting our site to use AJAX has begun. From now on when you make a post in the forum, as you are typing a preview box above the posting area will update itself every second to give you a realtime preview of what your post will look like.


with my mad php/javascript skills I made my forum dynamically generate and reload a post preview without having to click any buttons, or refresh the page. Very Happy
Interesting, but wouldn't that add some major lag to your server? And wouldn't stuff like unclosed quote tags look vaguely weird? Sounds like an excellent plan once you work out the kinks. Smile

I know that, but I would think it might be annoying to see that if you just haven't typed

the UTI email server tends to be slow. check your mail.

I didn't mean to, but one of the ethernet switches was down so my tabby wasn't getting a network connection. On a whim I tried it out on the mac that was correctly connected.
Safari ftw.
