I've got a few issues I thought I'd address before I'm forced to remove this mod.
first, it screws up if you're in the quick reply window, takes you away from what you're doing. it complete ignores your actions and simply refreshes, dropping you to the bottom of the thread, which, if you're posting a reply at the time, forces you to go to advanced editing to complete.
I see a post from Oct 12 where you say it's not something that can be changed, and maybe it's due to it's implementation but this isn't a problem with the live thread mod I used before, so i'm not so sure about that answer. Unfortunately if this is not resolved it alone will be the show stopper for me.
It double posts frequently,
most annoying, it for some reason completely loses the first post in the thread.
It ignores your position and forces you to the last page. You cannot go to any other pages of the thread because it's auto refresh drags you to the end, regardless of what you're doing.
got to admit, I had high hopes for this, but it's been more frustrating than anything. There's no reason to ever force you to the end of a page, or the last page of the thread. I can't see that ever being something I'd want. that function alone makes it very frustrating, but the fact that it hides the first post in the thread is really confusing.
There's quite a bit of things it does well, but I'm starting to think the problems out weight the benefits. My users pm me every time there's a live event and we follow a thread about the problems.
It's a good idea for a mod, but it's implementation seems not well thought out. I don't want to resort to another mod, but based on the problems I don't see how I'm going to have much choice.
