For checking new post and questions we always need to do a screen refresh for that we can implement auto refresh for forum page like email system. So we do not need to refresh screen to check the new post and questions.

Hello Team

The idea is just to know whether someone has already posted something and added their comment to the forum post, so if we are adding the same content we know that it is already been posted by some.

So a lot of time when posting a comment on a forum post, and typing a solution for the post. In between this, someone has already posted in this duration, but we were not able to see that because to see that reply on a post we need to refresh the page or we end up posting a solution that someone has already posted few minutes back.

So If we can make the forum detail page and forum main page work Live, with help of web sockets, and Firebase, so the page get refreshed automatically.

This will help us not refresh the page again and again and eliminate us to post similar solution posts.

Hello Tousif Khan,

While I see value in your idea, the use case is not that frequent and we have other priorities at the moment.
Therefore, I'm going to mark this idea as "Not right now".
If the ideas gains several likes and comments we can always revisit it.

Thank you for helping improving our products.
Kind regards,

Merged this idea with 'đź“ŚRefresh forum without page reload' (created on 18 Apr 2025 09:42:23 by Dinesh Murugan)

Currently, users need to perform a hard refresh to view the latest forum questions and discussions in the OutSystems Community. To enhance usability, I suggest adding a manual refresh button that refreshes only the posts section (questions and discussions) without reloading the entire page.

This would:

  • Improve the user experience by reducing page load time

  • Make it easier to stay updated with the latest forum activity

  • Avoid breaking the flow when exploring other sections

For your reference, I’ve attached a screenshot with the proposed refresh button placement.

Let me know your thoughts.

This is a good idea that would enhance the forum experience. It enables real time updates. May be it require architectural changes and increase load on the server.
