Just so you know: the load on our forum tripled.
We run the forum on a dual quadcore 2 ghz Intel Xeon with 8GB ram and 15k rpm SAS disks. On peak times mysql will jump to 4 full cores maxing them out.

have you tried changing the time outs? (in the ACP)

:)

Installed and nominated!

Outstanding mod - my members are loving this! I was wondering, is there a way to get all the users who are active in a Live Thread listed somewhere at the bottom of the thread? I think that would be a sweet addition :)

Yeah, we gave it another go but we just keep running out of MySQL connections, resulting in the post table crashing etc, so we've had to disable it.

SUGGESTION:

I think it'd be a great idea to have the option to enable it for specific user groups only. This will come in handy for those in our situation. (high load + database crashes) Allowing us to enable it for certain user groups only (such as paid subscription user groups and staff user groups) would mean that large/active boards could compromise, and still take advantage of this plugin.

For active/larger boards, I feel that this addition is essential.

Cheers. :)

I second that suggestion. I would very much like to offer this function to my members, but am afraid to find myself in the same situation as Pipo123.

Please add usergroup permissions.

Wonderful mod! I'm very pleased with how much promise this can offer. The only reason I knew about this addon is because other members of my board are requesting this ALREADY.

Couple of issues:

1 (FYI). I did indeed get this to work with USC. I'm still running the 3.7 USC on my 3.8 but no issues when running Live Topic.

2. When I have the addon "passiveVid" enabled (version 1.1.2) Live Topic stops working.

3. When Live Topic is running we seem to be having issues with:
- Postbit related addons appear to stop working on all refreshed content.
- Reputation images appear to stop working on refreshed content

Let me know if you need any techincal answers and I can do my best.

Good stuff. Disabled for now but watching very closely.

Would there be any way to easily modify this so that we can make the TITLE tag Blink with the Prefix "Updated" or something, as per Facebook Chat. :)
It'd be great for when their are a number of Tabs open. :)

Sorry to be a nag as I know this is free... I'm just curious if you had any ideas on the above issues we've all posted? I'm really eager to get this addon working but want to wait until it's working correctly.

Awesome mod.
Not working on my forum so i'll keep an eye on this.
Nominated MOTM ;)

Installed!
It works on 3.8~~~
