Refreshing questions...

Question

User is writing an answer and BOOM! There are two - one from him and a different one from other user that was posted 20 seconds earlier.
Could you, perhaps, make something to refresh the answer part automaticaly?

I think that when it is refreshed it clears whatever you have been typing.

Yeah, Speed Freak is right, it would screw with typing your answer.

And that would be quite annoying whenever it refreshes your browser EVERY TIME something happens.
Its no ones fault for answering a few seconds early or late, nobody knew, and it there isn't a penal act to come with it.
Just, eh.

I know it screws the writings. That´s why I´m suggesting this. I meant something automatic, without affecting writings

Ohh I see.
Well that's more problematic for Pokemaster; in order to do that, the answer-part of the page will have to be programmed separate from the rest of the page.
Or, Pokemaster would have to use different programming or something which will update itself upon a submission of an answer (like in the Chat).

Answer 1

To answer the comments, actually it is technically feasible to do this. However it would be a bit of work, I think more than you would get back in benefit.

It doesn't really matter if someone else posts in the meantime. If you already started writing then it's potentially a waste anyway if you stop your answer halfway through. You may as well finish and who knows, your answer could be better than the one already posted!

P.S. if you want to check for other answers, you could copy your current answer, refresh the page and paste it again.
