Very cool Mod. with this mod you don't need to add a chat room or a shout box and that is great.

loved it but unfortunately many users complained that the site had slowed to a near halt as a result of it and I had to turn it off.

Hello, thank you for your mod.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell the difference in posting a message. Except i receive a notification on bottom of my browser

We loved it but some members where not experiencing any lag while others just couldn't get around the site due to it. I personally think its intensive on the browser hence some are fine and others were puling there hair out. The idea is great the ease of its install is great its just a pity it has a strong side effect on peoples browsers.

Also, once i'm in a live topic, it doesn't seem to add new posts automatically. I only get notification on the bottom of my browser. Also, server load has increased from usual 0.80 to 3.2

I found the problem. If you set post sorting "new post at the beginning", Live Topic feature does not work. It only works with sorting "new post at the end".

Yes, you are right. Mentioned problem was caused by another hack, Let user choose how many reputation points to give (up to their limit) (in version 1.1.0), which is really useful too.

I disabled one of its plugins called "Remove popup rep" and Live Topic is working fine again.

Thank you for this hack.

do you think it would be possible to add a feature that makes it so that the browser title flashes, until you go back to the page to view it? This would make it so that you know when someone replied to a post you were viewing, if you were in another tab, or another browser window.

I don't know how useful this would be to others, but it'd be extremely useful to me, especially because I made it so that the Liveness basically doesn't ever turn off, making our entire forum completely live.

If you could add this feature (shouldn't be too hard to do, and i'd do it but your javascript is condensed which makes it extremely difficult to edit) but I'd apreciate it extremely.

Thanks,

Interesting Idea for a Live Topic intergration.

A few forums I'm on, different than VB, allow the page to refresh w/o reloading when you hit Preview.

Currently Preview reloads the page, and takes time, it would be nice if the page would just appear below your post so you can quickly read it...similar to how Live Topic appears.

:up:

I just installed this and left the default configuration. I went to a private thread and posted several messages back and forth with a friend of mine.

This is not doing anything at all, other than acting like a regular thread. It is not "Live Updating" anything.

Ideas?
