I should note that I was using this on 3.7 and it worked fine.

right click on the image thats not showing up and tell me the path. Its probably because you need to place the image somewhere else now or change the line in the css folder:

clientscript/vbulletin_css/livetopic.css

... this is already optimized, it has the logic. If your server cant handle it its not the products fault, you need a better server.

There are over 420 sites using this product right now, and about 20% of them don't have the hardware to serve all the calls.

Play with the settings...

lower the idle time for the user (default is 5 mins)
lower the time for the topic to be active (default is 5 mins)
make the query interval higher (default is 2 seconds)

... Dont just install this knowing that you have a site with high traffic and hardware that doesn't have wiggle room and expect that it will be fine on your server out of the box.

Lynne what are your settings? Maybe he can use them.

I developed this in mind of highload sites.

also i got the "conveyor belt" working, so in 1.06b it will totally be an option to limit the numbers of live posts.

This is my server and your mod eats way too much power.

Theres only 1 website on the server.

This is a REALLY NICE mod.

Hope there's a setting or something to reduce the amount ressources this mod is asking.

Are you saying then, that you are confident your mod is okay on a dual core, dedicated server with 4gig ram ?

Because when I installed it, lowered the settings, and put it live, I had around 550+ users on the one thread - my server spiked badly almost bringing everything to a standstill.

Your mod has huge potential, but I really do question it's useability on high use boards.

:confused: I'm on a dedicated server,dual core,with 4GB RAM

Agreed :up:

Ouch - a Hibee agreeing with a Jambo.

What's the world coming to

:D

I run my site on two servers - both Dual Core 2.4 GHz/4 MB Cache/1066 MHz FSB with 4 GB RAM each. Webserver is running RAID0 (2 - 74 GB 10 K SATA drives), mysql server just has a 250 GB SATA drive. I have had my servers optimized over at vb.com in the Server Configuration forum. After playing with the Request Interval setting to see if it makes a difference because of that mod_security error I was getting (it didn't - I'm still not sure what that is all about), I have left it at 3000 which is default. My server loads average about .30-.40. I really think every site is going to have to play with the settings themselves. Maybe put something in the first post about how if you have high server loads, then it is best to decrease the Thread Idle Time and User Idle Time and increase the Request Interval. Sometimes it is best to spell that out instead of just tell them they may play with the settings cuz not everyone can figure out if you should increase or decrease them.
