Tech Note: Live Comment Updates

We have a new feature on the LGF front page: if you’re registered and logged in, the last comment information that shows at the bottom right of each article is now live.
Every 15 seconds an Ajax routine checks the last comment for each article on the front page, and if there’s a new comment the information is updated with the new total number of comments, and the username of the last commenter. With a fade-in effect, of course. And as always, hovering over the username shows a small excerpt of the comment.
