Like a new PM or pager, the intended user is aware of it. Same principle - maybe a different technology - but for the benefit of the posting user. Maybe not a constant refresh like Who's Online as I can see it may be more of an irritant rather than being helpful. An iframe or popup?

Sometimes, here and even on my forum, I find myself replying to someone and realize only after submitting my post that another user (or users) have posted before me. The result can lead to a disruption of the flow of conversation; redundant information; misunderstanding to the unintended (happened to me and another user yesterday). If I'm given a warning I can review the updated posts and see if I need to edit anything before submitting mine.

This request is not an original idea of mine but something I came across a week or two back and thought it would be beneficial.
