hmm, im not sure the author is even around anymore, the main site is gone.

It is unfortunate, this is my favorite mod of all time. I had hoped by now "Live Topic" could have been expanded to add new threads to forumdisplay too. I'm shocked it hasn't been incorporated into vbulletin actually.

because on large forums it is a huge CPU sink. we had to enable it for only select users so the CPU load wouldn't spike

I'll grant you my forum isn't as busy as yours but it actually seemed to lower our resource usage as refreshing an entire page took more of a toll on the sever then getting a single post via AJAX... :confused:

well you have to consider how many people are constantly refreshing. livetopic will do a 'ping' every 5 seconds (or however you configure it). if you have a hundred people looking at one thread, livetopic will be refreshing more automatically than most of those people.

it can help or hurt, depending on how users use your forum :)

Can someone re-write this code from scratch for vb4 ?

We will donate some $ in return.

Good point, I wanted to mention this as well. I would happily donate!

Display issue with highly popular Mod Live Topic

All the subsequent posts after the last post are no longer aligned properly, as you can see in the attachment.

It continues to show posts that are displayed via ajax aka the live topic mod until a page refresh is done

Adding myself to the list of individuals that would like to see a vB4 version of this.

crossing fingers and hoping soon

I need to this amazing mod for vB4 too
