in thread AJAX to reduce server load

if you're proposing (for example) that voting would work the same, without the full page load, then you've added nothing to the user experience

I disagree strongly. Inline voting -- click and it's sent -- would improve the UI a great deal. No scrolling for the "vote!" button. No forgetting to submit some votes after reading a long thread. No 15 second page reload with a freshly broken URI -- /? -- from the POST.

    I believe the OP was suggesting that the AJAX could be applied to the "vote!" button, not inline as you've just described. So you appear to be strongly disagreeing with the OP not me ;) I for one also think inline voting would be a nice touch, but not as a solution to server load.
