I would be interested in seeing some sort of Q&A style mode that you can enable for some forums. StackOverflow style, but maybe that fits better as an addon.
Would it be similar to VB's comment feature?
God, I hate that feature.Would it be similar to VB's comment feature?
Nah... I don't hate vB. I'm sad at how it's turned out, but I don't hate it.There, I fixed it.
Where is the "Agree" icon when you need it?God, I hate that feature.
I think there was a time in the past where Kier expressed an interest in such a model, probably as an add-on. So it could still happen one day.
Do any other forum softwares have such a feature as a first party add-on or in the core? Could be a killer feature.
Hopefully not.Would it be similar to VB's comment feature?
Upcoming IPB has this feature.I think there was a time in the past where Kier expressed an interest in such a model, probably as an add-on. So it could still happen one day.

In addition to my previous post, XenForo is already checking for new posts when you save a draft. It shouldn't be too hard to set a configurable timeout and check for new posts within a thread. I know at least 1 forum product that works that way.
Still... live updating content is what the end user wants and is used to with facebook, twitter, etc. Sooner or later we will have to give them live updating widgets and content areas. Rather sooner than later.I'd love to do this, but how many XenForo customers do you suppose have access to the necessary long-polling webserver? Trying to achieve it with Apache or similar would have apocalyptically bad consequences.
Stackoverflow is eating away traffic of many information oriented forums. I think its essential to have Q&A functionality if your forum is information oriented.I would be interested in seeing some sort of Q&A style mode that you can enable for some forums.

Yes, IPS offers this since the previous version.I think there was a time in the past where Kier expressed an interest in such a model, probably as an add-on. So it could still happen one day.

I learned a new word today.apocalyptically
Its true that it is beyond 98% of XF customers, especially those running on shared platforms, and do this properly you really should be using something like Redis, but IMO nor should XenForo limit itself by making a conscious decision that it isn't going to develop those features that big forums really want. A feature like this is a paradigm shift for XF, into turning the software which is fairly retrospective in nature to something that addresses the issues of now. I think you'd surprised at how many customers would be willing to make that investment into the work required to have this feature. Certainly we'd be willing to pay for a ;premium' product if it means putting investment into area which isn't going to be utilised by the majority of users.I'd love to do this, but how many XenForo customers do you suppose have access to the necessary long-polling webserver?
