as with everything, AJAX has its place, yes its the "in thing" right now, but that does not mean use it for every possible thing!

A good example of where AJAX belongs is Google Maps, I think it suits it, a lot better than flash would (which is properly the only alternative)

A bad example would be an entire site built in AJAX, as in, press a link, the page loads via ajax - as it would make the "back" button useless.

Am sure AJAX has its place within a forum, and again theres places where it would be a really bad idea.

so I (again) urge borg not to go by popular demand, and to use his own judgement as to where it would be best suited.

(PS: this isnt a personal attack to anybody inthis thread, and more past on past 'Suggestions For WWF' ive seen)

exactly. I think that's a great idea!

A Thumbs%20Up

for AJAX.

I've seen and heard guys doing amazing things with that. I'll just love WWF a bit more Smile

Can you send me some links to your work? I may have a job or two for you if you're good and/or interested.

Send by PM if you prefer... I'll check it manually until Bruce gets the Ajax checker working

Actually, it shouldn't be too bad if you put a 'long' interval on the timer. I've done a bunch of ajax programming (with ASP even!) and if it's something simple (like checking PMs) it could be quick and easy.

I was curious as to whether version 9 of Web Wiz Forums will use AJAX technology to inform members of new PM's received instead of having members refresh the page. This is used by Google Mail (Gmail). You do not need to refresh the page or click a 'Get mail' button to check for new messages, instead, it uses AJAX to check for it. No pop-up windows used!

This would be a great feature to have
