Make Random better #14

Closed alexknowshtml closed 12 years ago

This isn't anything major just something I noticed.

The people page now loads randomly as per my earlier request (thanks!), but it seems to activate the randomness per page load. So if you try to browse the directory by using the prev/next links, it reorders the list each page and you'll see repeats mid browsing.

Some ideas:

Assign the random-ness as state and reshuffle the collection nightly.

Remove the pagination option while viewing randomly and replay with a link to grab 25 more random people (admitting to the user you may see dups on occasion).

Remove the pagination option and add a button to load more on the page with AJAX (using a filter to avoid profiles that are already on the screen).

Hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

The people page always loaded randomly, it's the other tabs that are not randomized. And yeah, I've noticed that paging doesn't work with randomization so well.

I really like the idea of the "load more" button on the page, but it'd be slick if we just loaded more as people scrolled down. Trying to think of a site where I've seen that. Not sure how it would perform but page load has been so fast I think it might work pretty well.
