You rock, Ssieth! Thanks for the time and work you are putting into the script!
When you have a moment, could you please explain this? I can sort of tell it will be a good thing but I'm not fully understanding it at the same time.
Thanks!!
Ah - oops - I was on my way to a meeting and hurried that description somewhat. So.. let me explain (I hope) better....
This version has just the one new change and it's a minor one that is more to prove to me that it _will_ work before I set about doing a wider change :) It only effects the notify/unnotify button inside threads and it streamlines the user interface of how that works.
Normally when you click that button it has you reload the thread page to perform the actions and that can be a bit slow if you don't have a fast connection or have a really busy thread with lots of images and stuff. My change has that happen in the background and the page not reloading (and so doesn't reload images at all) so it looks a bit faster and seemless to you and causes a little bit less strain (potentially) on the server.
It shouldn't make much of a difference to how things work. It should just make things a little more streamlined in user experience terms and maybe help reduce bandwidth usage and server load a little.
Note for web techie types: I know that the images etc will probably be cached in most instances so server-load/bandwidth for those won't be reduced but there are still some instances where images and other similar resources are re-fetched on a page load so there might be minor improvement for those instances.
