With all of this tabbed browsing, I wonder if you could make Live show something in the title when a new post is ready. Sort of how Facebook shows the count of unread notifications or Twitter has the number of 'new tweets'.

Good idea. Done. It clears the count when you view the tab again.

I can see the count (good stuff), but when I go back to the tab it doesn't clear it. I'm using the latest version of Chrome.

Is kind of buggy. Anytime you refresh it, it shows up as 15 new, and every so often it'll count even when you're in the tab/window.

If i post and switch back to live before it shows up, it counts that post, and any more made until i switch tab/window and come back.

It's intended to count when you're in the window, but perhaps I should change that... The showing 15 new when you refresh is odd though, what browser are you using? I'm not getting that, even in IE.

That's because the live page checks for new posts every X seconds (called "pull") rather than is sent new posts as they happen (called "push"), and it's also keeping count while the page is active.

Firefox, newest version.

I could swear that it wasn't normally counting unless i was off the window/tab. If someone makes a post sometime in the next time before i get bored of staring at it, i'll see.

I changed some things around, it should act more consistently now. If you change tabs before it's done loading initially it might not do the count, but I disabled fade-in animation on first load to speed that up. It also now doesn't count when in focus.

It's still a little buggy and needs some work, but it's better than nothing. Maybe when you have time it can be better polished.

Issue 1:

1. Site loads.
2. I change tabs.
3. I see a new post.
4. I go to the Live tab.
5. The number in the tab sometimes doesn't go away.

Issue 2:

-Sometimes Live just goes weird and I end up getting 15 (it's always 15) in the tab.


There are more, but it's just general bugginess. I'd suggest giving it a try with Chrome for about 10 minutes and you'll see what I mean.

This was hard to pin down, but should now be fixed.

This I can't get to happen at all, in Chrome or FF. Is there some particular time it happens?

I know it happens the same time as mentioned above, but I haven't been able to get it to happen outside of that in a while. I'll let you know if I'm able to reproduce it.

Now that I think about it again, this was probably directly related to the other issue, and is likely now fixed. Regardless, let me know if you see it any more. :P
