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.
Have you visited the authors support site? Besides being over run with SPAM his support is NIL. I paid for a pro version of his software and have never received one iota bit of help. Thankfully I only wasted $5

I on the other hand got a lot of help when I needed it. So either I got lucky or you got unlucky.

Yeah, this mod author is incredibly unreliable. His paid scripts list features that don't even work, it's only $5 but it's still not cool to take peoples money for things that don't work. He doesn't care and doesn't offer any support for any of it.
I have fixed this mod but vB will not let me post it because it is copyright of Coders Shack. I cannot get a hold of the author so I'm not sure what to do at this point
Is it a total re-write ? or just few fixes?
If it's a total re-write then you may as well claim it for yourself and give the guy credit, if it's a simple fix just tell us The where and what
In some cases on some Mods I've seen that some Coders Share their Corrected Versions of the Mods with the Author and the Users, for it to be Tested, and they've simply Posted the File, the Author and Users Review it (at their Risk), and the Author Post the Update with the Respective Thanks and Recognitions to the Coder that Shared the Updated Version of the Mod.
I don't think there's something wrong with it. The Author Benefits, the Users Benefit, You Benefit by Sharing the Updated Mod and Getting the Recognitions (from the Users and from the Author if he Access His Account).
It'll be Really Nice to Test the Updated Version of the Mod. I Voted for this Mod as MOTM and It'd really Good to see the Bugs Corrected, some of them that I've Reported too.
Guys, enough of this. The developer has not given permission to have a vB4 version of this mod posted. In fact, someone even said he was working on it himself. Anyway, a vB4 version of this mod that isn't written/approved by the developer is not going to get posted in here. End of discussion really.
