Attention Internet Brands: PLEASE fix ispy
The topic of the ispy function being broken was buried in another thread so I figured this might be more effective.
As you should know, the servers became very unstable in the early part of June and it is then that the ispy function became virtually useless as it no longer refreshes new posts.
While the forum itself seems to have recovered from the dreaded Database Errors, ispy has not. I realize it is not a "vital" function of our forum but I will admit that is is the function that I (and many others) like the most on here.
I do not see many other forums with this distinct feature and was hoping we could get it resolved soon.
One of our Moderators alnielsen reported:
So my question is: Are the servers stable again?
If so....

It currently isn't working correctly, but when it does, when a new post is detected, it adds it to the top of the list and smoothly scrolls the prior ones down, dropping the bottom one off the page. It isn't perfect, (if you make multiple posts back to back, it doesn't always detect them, etc...) but it gives the 007 fix that some of us need to keep tabs on the population, offering guidance, advice, and flames as needed, or just finding excuses to drive up our post counts
...it doesn't refresh, and the 'last' post is between 8 to 45 minutes old when you manually refresh, and it clearly doesn't register all posts.

The last post showing up is over 5 minutes old
