Page refresh after log in? #162

Open kizyahaha opened 9 years ago

We can't have it both ways. We want the page to stay the same after people log in so they can maintain their position, but we also want to update the page for user preferences, click bindings, etc. The biggest issue I see are lists of rant previews. Especially if we order contenders in some pseudo-random manner seeded by user id.

This issue might go away almost entirely if we don't allow people to vote or apply items from the rant preview. If we force them to go into the DRV, then we can refresh the DRV after log in without issue. There would only be some mild disorientation when they click "Back" or something and the contender list has been updated. The downside here is that it will become less obvious at a glance to people who are visiting the site for the first time that voting and gaming are even options on our site.

Billy says to update rant by rant in the contenders lists. Outside of that, people will have to live with manually refreshing to take into account all their preferences and ordering (if we do order by user id).

We are no longer ordering bases on user ID, but we do have those random slots. The only downside to refreshing the page is that those random slots will change. Can we just live with that?
