This product is different from anything you have seen before, it raises the bar for forums. It will make your forums much more interactive, and also reduce server load.
Technical Details:
If a thread has been posted in X seconds then its now Live, if other users are viewing the Live topic and are on the last page they will experience a clean ajax experience while talking to other members. Once the thread is older than X seconds its no longer Live and it will now act like a normal thread. Also if a user edits one of their posts that's inside of the thread, it will be updated too so there is no longer a reason to ever have to refresh.
There is also logic for the viewer, the viewer of the thread has to be in an active state to see responses. An active user state is determined upon the users actions, if no actions were made in X seconds then the user is marked as inactive.
Also you may wonder why this could save your server bandwidth and CPU. If a user is refreshing to talk to another members the queries on a normal thread load are way more intense than the ajax call that this modification makes. So if you have 5 people talking to each other none of them have to refresh the page, all they are doing is simple page requests and one intense request when there has actual change.
You can test Live Topic with two users, you will see how amaizing this is... And probably spontaneously combust.
I just installed this but seem to be having a problem. I was testing it out and some users said they could see the live refresh working but I don't see it. When i try to use quick reply anything i put in there doesn't automatically show up in the thread like it used to before the modification was put in.
If i disable the Mod then my quick reply works. I have tried it in all three browsers with no luck. My time settings are as follows
Thread Idle Time 30000
User Active Time 30000
Request Interval 3000

Any reason why it would be doing this? Thanks
Maybe you have some Mods Activated for your Usergroup and Not for the Other User's Usergroups, and that/those mods are Conflicting whith this one.
Check Which Mods, specially those that Work on the Postbit and ShowThread, are Active for you and not for them, and Try Disabling them for you, and make tests with 2 different browsers and 2 different users with your same computer (it works as long as the browsers are different), and that way you can locate the Conflict Mod.
Also Check the Reported Mods that have Conflict with this One, on this Thead's Posts, and on the First Post of this Thread.
Read This Thread and the vB37x Thread for this Mod, to Know the List of Mods that Conflict with this One and the Possible Solutions. (Also on the First Post of the Threads are a List of Some of those Conflicting Mods).
Stop asking the same question over and over. Vb 4.0 will come, but he need some time.
Will there also be an Update for this vB38x/vB37x Version where the Old Posts Vanishing Bug is Corrected? (that Function isn't Working in the Latest Version of the Mod).
