This will make sure that real time updates are initiated by real members who are using it.

Also strike out threads from real time updates when there has been no activity on the thread.

You can maybe also extend the functionality to send a notification to the online members participating in the thread that "real time discussion has been enabled on this thread".

I think managing the real time updates selectively will make all the difference in this mod and it'll manage the server load manageable - instead of making all threads real time it should choose intelligently.

Hey,

Could you please re-post feature requests as over at our forum www.dragonbyte-tech.com ?

We have a system in place that tracks feature requests via threads, which makes it easier for us when we're planning new versions. It'd be difficult for us to troll through several old pages on vB.org threads.

It'd be greatly appreciated

EDIT: Oh wow, it does update edited posts, kudos to you!~

I do believe it is more efficient, yeah.

From what I recall, the old Live Threads sent 1 fetch request for each post in the thread and another request if the result was that the post had been updated.

This mod will send one request for ALL posts, then return the new / updated posts. It will still send 1 fetch request for each post that is new or updated but that's because vBulletin's postbit (and mods that hook into the code associated with displaying the postbit) does a lot of processing that we couldn't reasonably replicate.

Hopefully it's clear what I mean, needlessly complex explanations is a professional hazard unfortunately
