Thread:Extension talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/Page Updates and Refreshes/reply (8)

I appreciate that end-user configuration options can be a barrier to ease of use (not to mention that their proliferation complicates revision management). It is far better to stick to features and implementations that work well for everyone without need of customization. I can see the appeal of dynamic updates, although I am not convinced the benefit is great. The old-style method of user-initiated updates, i.e. whenever the user loads or refreshes a page, does seem to be problem-free. Hopefully, Andrew's presumption that the problems can be fixed is correct. Bear in mind that, for some platforms, demands on communication resources can present problems long before demands on RAM (as described in the Redesign page) become an issue. I do think it a good idea to accommodate those who have limited bandwidth.
