After a lot of troubleshooting and rewriting of code, the Live Topic feature is now working again.
If you view a thread where a post has been made within the last 15 minutes, and while you are viewing it someone makes a new post to the thread -- you'll automatically see the new post. It will show up under the newest post with a little note saying it was a "Live Topic update".
This makes quick back-n-forth posts between users very easy, you never have to leave the page or refresh.
A few things to know:
- When you view the thread, the last post must be made within 15 minutes. If the last post is older than 15 minutes, you won't poll the server for new posts -- so even if someone makes one, you won't see it. This is to save server resources.
- If you leave a thread up for over 15 minutes and no one posts to the thread, same as above -- it will stop polling the server for new posts, so even if someone makes a new post you won't see it unless you manually refresh.
Basically this is for quick back and forth posting within an active topic.
I've made it so that News and Current Events updates (new posts) will no longer show up on the forum homepage next to the chatbox. This is because recently this subforum has seen a lot of activity which not everyone is interested in seeing.
Sorry for the 7 minutes of downtime around 4:45pm Eastern Time on the forum.
When I came back into my office, the server load was 7 times normal and was spiking to almost 20 times normal. This was making the site pretty slow today while I was away.
I was trying to isolate the problem and had to restart the database service, the first time in 208 days. For the moment, the load is still high but not extreme. I'll be monitoring it.
