I have been messing about trying to get a different look to other sites and have built a Facebook style topic modal. It seems to load quicker for me and seems to be more fluent on desktop. What are your thoughts? Link to test is https://www.carptalk-online.co.uk/ (only works on Desktop)

Just wanted to say a big thank you to @Don for getting this modal working. I’d been struggling with it for a while and had tried a few different approaches, but Don managed to put together a solution that actually works properly. Really appreciate you taking the time to build it and share it — it…

Yeah thats the next thing i need to look into but i have been pondering over this, does it matter? That’s the same as Facebook behaves, the direct link goes to the actual post, if clicked while browsing modal opens.

Nice concept, are you able to maintain a consistent connection with message bus for new messages while loading older messages?

在电脑端看起来非常不错，在移动端的加载速度有点缓慢，点击后只能看到一个无内容的页面和右上角的关闭按钮，似乎需要面对一个空白页面等待很久。

This is what i’m working on now :slight_smile: At the minute its just a concept I want to make reality. However on my device it does load in 2 seconds on mobile with the discourse spinner loading icon so not sure whats happening. Probably because the server is in london UK with no CDN as of yet
