RX Live Lines Enhancement!

lander · May 5, 2005

I have deployed a minor update that will *hopefully* enhance the experience of the RX Live Lines usage. The updgrade will take a user back to the line they were viewing before the refresh. Additionally there is a now a timer located in the browser "status bar" (highlighted in the image below) that will show the number of seconds left before a refresh***

Hopefully, this should prove to be a time-saving, money-saving feature once the boards get bigger (NCAA season).

GL to everyone -- unless you are an pathetic degenerate loser like EarlySpeed.

Thanks

***Mozilla users will need to edit their preferences in the steps outlined in the next post to see the time ticker, due do default Mozilla settings.

***Mozilla Users -
Click "Tools"/"Options"/"Web Features"/"Advanced"
Make sure the box "Change status bar text" is checked.

you da man lander!~

Several posters have emailed me at lander@therx.com suggesting this feature, as well as some peer pressure from outspoken GJ Mikey Mike and last, but hardly least -- my Board Room amigo Rob "What the" Funk.

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen.

btw -EarlySpeed is a pathetic, deperate, trying-to-find-love-in-RR loser.

Moon it should be working. I tested with IE and Mozilla.

What browser are you using?

Moon88 · May 5, 2005

IE....is there somewhere I should be looking?

Is it refreshing at all for you?

The way it works is. Say you go to MLB. You scroll down to say Rot 907, the page will refresh in X seconds (you can watch the ticker count down in the status bar). After it reloads if scrolls the page back to where you were last viewing (907).

now only if you could solve the "hawaii glitch" we would be all set

lander · May 5, 2005

I gave up on the Hawaii glitch. Hopefully nobody will watch them now that Timmy the undrafted NCAA record setter is gone

Moon,
You will also need to make sure that you have JavaScript enabled for this solution -- if you do not the site will (ok, should) work the same as it did before)

Intruder · May 5, 2005

Moon....need a square report from you Friday and Saturday if you can get them........contrariian time buddy!

Moon88 · May 5, 2005

Lander working well! Thanks

Intruder will do if any news....Round two will be better then first.

Intruder · May 5, 2005

I hope...started out fast in the 1st round.....hit a bad slump lately....a 1/2 point loser on the Nuggies hurt last nite.

Thanks man, any samll bone helps!

works well. .it was so annoying to have the scroll bar keep shooting to the top, it is good to see that you could get Bill Gates software to sit, play dead and roll over. Especially stay where you would like it to upon refresh!
