ThunderBoard beta 6

ThunderBoard is a plugin currently in development stages which aims to speed up same-page loads on MyBB forums.

Minimum requirements

PHP 5.4
MyBB 1.8.0
PluginLibrary

Features

ThunderBoard loads same-page changes with AJAX using TurboLinks. For example, you can switch between forum pages without reloading the entire page and changing just the necessary elements. This lets your users enjoy a faster and smoother navigation. See the picture above or test the plugin by browsing between pages here on MyBBoost.

Hey Shade, I think I found a bug. ;)

Can you elaborate more? No issues here. Edit: sorry, the attachment link was AJAXified as well. Should be fixed by now :)

Yep, the download is working now. :)

FYI – I've uploaded a new beta 1 version which fixes one issue with shutdown functions. It's kinda important but it's not enough to be updated to beta 2. The fix lets you properly update the counters (threads views, last visits, etc.).

A couple of issues;

• links to external stylesheets break the minification with a 401 error.
  
• stylesheets are still minified after disabling the Resource minifier.
  

both of these issues in conjunction mean the plugin wont work for me.

Thank you for the report. Stylesheets are indeed minified even if the resource minifier is deactivated - that's because I didn't think about external stylesheets (bad practice nonetheless!). I will update ThunderBoard in the next couple of days.

(bad practice nonetheless!)

but it's actually good practice to put your static assets on a cookie-less domain c;

oh, and the multiquote is borked with this theme;

I've heard it in the past, but never fully understood the benefits. Anyway, I will push an update soon :)

the benefit is that the browser doesn't have to send every cookie with each request for every asset.
