Changed the requests to jquery ajax requests. I also tried (and kind of succeeded) with getting the whole board to load on startup. When you load the page it sends a request to the server for /clearlastupdated (or something like that) which clears the session variable, so that a complete refresh is done when the page is loaded. After that it just gets the points after it was most recently updated. THE PROBLEM IS that it works 3/4 times. Not sure why. But it's a start =)
Merge branch 'quick-change-ajax' into develop
