I'm sure anyone that keeps the shoutbox open in an extra tab notices that the shoutbox sometimes doesn't actually refresh at all times, it seems. For instance, sometimes I'd return, refresh the page, and find a few shouts that weren't shown before-hand. Any idea what's up with that? Is it SEN or is it my internets? (I doubt my internets, but not ruling out the possibility)

It's been like that since I joined. Used to be worse.

Also been like this for a long time for me, I just didn't think of bringing it up 'till today.

I think it works on some type of periodic system, and isn't actually checking for new shouts. I don't use auto refresh anymore because I just refresh the whole page to simultaneously see any new posts.

The problem could be either with the JavaScript that runs the AJAX call, or with the server-side code that queries the database after receiving the AJAX call. If the former, I should be able to provide a fix. If the latter, I'd guess it's a database caching error, but remember that I actually don't know a thing about server-side code.
Artanis, does your browser display any indication of a JavaScript error whenever this happens? I.e. entries in Firefox's Error Console, or the yellow warning icon in IE's statusbar? If so, please post the error details here. If it's a JS problem, I may be able to code a fix for Devlin to apply.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
