Hi I’ve updated to 3.2.0 beta4, since that,
Topic list doesn’t auto update after posting.
Any suggestions?
AI-generated summary
Topic list doesn’t refresh after posting: Saiano reported an issue where the topic list doesn’t auto-refresh after posting, since updating to Discourse 3.2.0 beta4. merefield explained that currently connected clients receive a banner to click, which then refreshes the topic list. This is a design choice to avoid massive spikes in demand and ensure scalability.
Saiano inquired about the previous system, where the topic list auto-refreshed. merefield clarified that the banner click has always been the intended behavior. Saiano and Jagster discussed the placement of the banner.
After further investigation, Saiano discovered that the banner doesn’t appear on their installation, requiring users to manually refresh the page. merefield suggested checking for log errors, message bus issues, or JavaScript errors that might be causing the feature to fail.
It doesn’t refresh. Currently connected clients should get a banner to click which will refresh the topic list.
Only Topics auto update without the need for a click or navigation.
Thank you, Robert.
In the older version, the auto refresh was also on topic list, or not?
Is there a way to restore the previuous system?
It’s always worked via the banner click. This is fundamental reason why Discourse scales well and can be deployed on a server that has a modest technical specification. The alternative would be a massive spike in demand at every new Topic publication.
The banner link should be placed on the logo?
Why? The normal place at first of topic list is more logical, because it is the most recent topic.
Thank you for the answers. I’ll check my installation and retry.
Any log errors either in console (check desktop) or server error logs?
You probably want to look for message bus issues.
However any javascript error might kill this feature if the browser is erroring out due to some code issue.
