Feedback Thread: YLF Realtime

Greg

Today we are launching a new feature to help you get rapid feedback in a pinch. If you mark your post as "realtime", then it will appear in the sidebar so people can see that you're looking for an urgent response and easily give you feedback without leaving the front page of the forum.

Read more about the new feature in the backstage blog.

Please use this thread to give us feedback or to discuss the new feature.

so, once you've input your response and the window closes, is that it? Do you get to see the ultimate 'vote' or otherwise follow the realtime thread?

Oh, nevermind! Now I see it is listed as a thread along with all the others.

Yes, Mo, you've got it. A realtime thread is very much like any other, except that it gets featured in the sidebar. There are also a few other small differences that I explain in the blog post.

Btw, how long will it stay in the sidebar?

Ornella, it will be displayed until whichever one of these comes first:

- you reply
- it is replaced by a newer realtime topic
- a day elapses since it was first posted

I see, so in a nutshell there's room for only one realtime thread?

Ornella, not really. They all appear in the thread list, and as soon as you reply to one of them the next one appears in the sidebar (which always shows the most recent one).

Hi Greg,
Sorry to hit you with an accessibility question. Where exactly does the sidebar appear on the homepage? I can't find it at the moment, though I can see the threads in the forum no problem.
I think this is a wonderful feature that highlights just how seriously you take our collective input! Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and creative.

Hi Michelle,

Realtime posts do not appear anywhere on the home page (i.e. youlookfab.com). They appear as normal threads in the list and, when available, in the sidebar of the forum frontpage (i.e. youlookfab.com/welookfab). When they appear in the sidebar it is directly below the "Online Now" list.

I have no qualms. Just curious about the logic regarding the minimum and maximum amount of photos?
