Show Thread Enhancements - [DBTech] AJAX Threads v1 (vB4)

AJAX Threads: What is it?
AJAX Threads brings your threads alive, making them automatically refresh without needing to reload the page.

Uses

AJAX Threads is the ideal product for forums with busy threads or which deal with any sort of "event" be that TV shows, sports or game releases!
AJAX Threads allows you to make topics "auto update" without the user having to refresh. This can give performance benefits when applied to threads which receive a lot of refresh requests, and can increase user participation.
Topics can be turned live by admins individually, or you can set whole forums to have their threads be live automatically. You can even allow only VIP usergroups to have threads refresh automatically to increase subscription numbers.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

Major Features:

Automatically Refresh Threads: Users will now see new posts in "real time" without having to refresh the page

Performance Benefits: If your forum receives lots of refresh requests on threads being posted in often this can put a lot of strain on your server - AJAX Threads will greatly reduce server resources used in those situations by refreshing only the minimum information required.

Total Control: You can set threads individually or per forum. You can set particular usergroups to receive the benefit, and you can even have it apply automatically to popular threads!

I have a problem gettng all [DBTECH] MOD'S TO WORK. the reason for this is thee upload folders inside the zip is a file upload. : I KNOW IT SAyS LOAD WHATS INSIDE UPLOAD TO FORUM HOME." bu every time i upload all the folders and files th mod seems not to work. the thrree files are admincp,dbtech,and includes. also a php file. it confusses me because im unsure if i should uploaf the files inside admincp to that directory anf includes to that directory but what do i do with the dbtech folder? i should just highlight all the files and folders and upload all of them to the public_html folder in my ftp? but when i do that the mod just wont work. can someone explain what i am doing wrong? thank you in advance.

This still has the problem of double posts showing up from time to time. A refresh fixes it but I wonder why the double posting is such a big issue with this and it can't seem to be eliminated.

[Alan_SP]

Problem is it couldn't be reliably reproduced. If you found out the way that always reproduces such behavior, it would be fixed.

For example only once I have seen double posts. After that never again. It seems that it may be related to something specific to your server, or mods you use, whatever.

Ever considered adding Ajax to member profile comments, articles comments and blog comments?

[DragonByte Tech]

They're much less used than threads so it might be a bit of a waste of server resources if I'm honest.

It suddenly stopped working after I installed this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232048

It's a really popular feature on my forum, so yeah, uhmm, would there be a fix for that?~

It happens on vB4.1.10

Another one: http://prntscr.com/61yrt <- it's normally what you'd see after clicking Reply with quote. But when the mod is enabled, it takes me to a new page: http://prntscr.com/61yu4

This was handled at our forum, but for posterity: Mods that don't work with Quick Edit will also not work with AJAX Threads
