No AJAX for "The mood in here"?

Hi Philipp, we don't just use AJAX everywhere. We try to use it where it makes interactions on the site smoother, not just add it "because we can." Granted, we haven't done a perfect job of this everywhere, but we are continually improving the site.

The mood is a place where we decided that adding more AJAX to the page was less desirable than the temporary inaccuracy of the "Mood in here" indicator. There are trade-offs in all design, and our site is no exception.

I don't know which element on which page you're speaking of when you say:

"Follow this question / Stop following this question". (In the sentence within the white footer, where you can click on the yellow button.

Hi Cameron, thanks for your answer. Of course you shouldn't blindly use AJAX everywhere, as you'll see by my last posted complaint. ;-)

I might understand it, if you'll try to explain me why you decided it was less desirable in this case? :) ...sorry for not adding a screenshot, there's a little bit more work involved for me for uploading a file, as skitch doesn't work for me as a MS Win user.

Now here's finally a screenshot (by the way, how do I include the link into it? Will you be maybe add a "design toolbar" for such formatting & embedding stuff?):



The element that is not updated (although now it works again -.- *confused*):

Hmm, those should be linked. I'm going to go enjoy my holiday a bit, but I'll be sure to note this one down as something to look into.

I believe it may be a bug with IE7, as it works properly for me in Firefox 3.
