Express Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I was wondering why my network lights were constantly flickering when I wasn't even browsing any site. Turns out it was a neowin page loaded in a minimized window. In swap.js the updateRcnt function constantly polls the server. I can understand forumposts but I don't understand the logic of pulling the other parts so frequently. function updateRcnt() { $("#fc > div > dl").loadIfModified("/sync/forumposts.txt"); $("#bc > div > dl").loadIfModified("/sync/blogposts.txt"); $("#gc > div > dl").loadIfModified("/sync/gamersnewsposts.txt"); $("#rc > div > dl").loadIfModified("/sync/mainnewsposts.txt"); $("#sc > div > dl").loadIfModified("/sync/softwarenewsposts.txt"); r_timeout = setTimeout("updateRcnt()", 5000); }; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 12, 2007 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2007 It won't load anything if it is still the same, so in this case it will only be updating the forumposts.txt file which does update more regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlemutt Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Another triumph! Hoorah! Well, something changed again today it seems as the stupid sync errors are back when I use Firefox/Minefield. Every 2 to 8 secs : Error: no element found Source file: https://www.neowin.net/sync/forumposts.txt Line: 1 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9a7pre) Gecko/2007072905 Minefield/3.0a7pre Firefox/3.0 ID:2007072905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
