LiveTopic Test Thread

[TickleTheater]

Here is a test thread you may use for now to test the newly implemented LiveTopic feature on the site. Talk about anything that comes to mind. 😉

Remember if you're using IE it won't work, so take this opportunity to upgrade to a better browser like FireFox.

//edit

Attached a screenshot to show you what it looks like when you're engaged into an active LiveTopic conversation.

It's really windy out today...

I dig this. It shows how technology can enrich our lives through instant updating of internet forums so that we can talk about whatever is on our minds.

It's kinda like... like Web 2.0, except not as San Francisco-ey weird.

 

[TickleTheater]

Yeah, it should be a better demonstration once people start noticing this thread and actively trying it out.

 

[TickleTheater]

My television froze on Tommy Lee Jones looking right back at me. Not even kidding... :O

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Whoa. That's creepy.

 

[TickleTheater]

Haha yeah it was The Fugitive and those eyes man, those eyes...

 

[TickleTheater]

Wait, I mean Us Marshals *slaps self*

 

[TickleTheater]

I think I see izzy pokin' around here.. 🙂

 

[the_jimmy_james]

I hope... yes, I hope that folks will be able to make this work for themselves.

I'd hate to hear the tech support questions though! 😀

US Marshals rocks.

 

[TickleTheater]

Pfft, who do you think I'm going to send them to!? (laughs)

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Oh no!! Ahhhh! 😀

 

[TickleTheater]

Geez that chatty mood blinks a lot!

 

[the_jimmy_james]

That's why I picked it 😀

 

[TickleTheater]

I took a screenshot because while we talk back and forth, the other people have no idea wtf is going on. lol

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Heh heh heh heh. This is great! I've got people asking me on Yahoo what all this is about!

 

[AiritheDestoyer]

😵

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Oh oh?

 

[TickleTheater]

Hello AiritheDestroyer. Welcome to the LiveTopic discussion. 🙂

 

[AiritheDestoyer]

Haha thanks

So its supposed to tell you when people post on A thread or just this one? Cause the only one that ever pops up is this thread... but its cool.. I keeps popping up and I ALWAYD have to look even though I know what it is

 

[TickleTheater]

It only works when a thread is active in a LiveTopic session. So whenever a new post is made to any thread of the forum, it becomes a LiveTopic for 300 seconds (5 minutes), so anyone browsing the thread can see new posts made within that time-frame. After that it goes back to being a normal thread.

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Live live live live!

 

[AiritheDestoyer]

Ooh, I get it now. It is really cool... And I like the idea that NMKamikaze had posted on your page. I think it is a cool idea.

 

[TickleTheater]

Haha, added that screenshot btw.

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Hey there ya go.
