Howdy all!

First off, let me say that we love your products and are having great success with them. They really add utility to our community. So thank you!

I noticed that when using vbShout, it will reload the chat-log each time we navigate. So just clicking 'back' or into a new topic or page causes a reload which I also assume comes with a db call.

I was hoping there was a way to cache (perhaps only short-lived) the chat log so that it doesn't have to do all that.

Is that something that is available, was considered and discarded, or not in the cards?

Cheers!

Hi Bale,

Thank you very much for your kind words, much appreciated :)

In the future, I can investigate the possibility of utilising LocalStorage or something similar in browsers, but as far as I know the standard isn't fully hashed out yet and I'd rather not have to create multiple implementations for multiple browsers, if that makes sense :)

It's definitely an interesting concept though!
 
Hey Fillip,

As someone who also does web apps (for science), I totally get the web browser compatibility issue - It's beyond a pain. One thing that comes to mind (though completely may not be applicable to vBulletin) would be to make the shoutbox live in an iframe that remains static as the rest of the page changes.

Again, I'm completely naive about all this stuff, but I do appreciate the consideration :)

Have a fantastic day, and we're always looking out for new and interesting mods, so keep up the great work :)

Cheers
Bale
