Some minor enhancements were made for pushing workflow etc. messages directly to the inboxes of other users who are already logged into iBE.net, so that they do not have to reload their inbox. We use web-sockets to push notifications the same way Google docs pushes document updates to other users. It works on all our supported browsers except IE, and does not work when you hibernate your computer, close the screen or if your computer goes to sleep. We always recommend reloading the app when you first start using it after a period of inactivity
