Miscellaneous Hacks - [DBTech] Forum Live Feed & User Wall v1 (vB3) [AJAX]

Forum Live Feed & User Wall lets you see a continuously updated feed of activities on the forum, with a powerful set of customisation options for sources of information.

Uses
If you've wished for a Facebook-like feed for your forum, this mod is for you.

This mod adds 2 distinct features to your site. First a live feed showing actions performed by everyone on the forum, from new threads and posts to things like new avatars or signatures, your members can customise their feed and keep up to date with everything that's going on, right as it happens.
Secondly every user also has their own wall that displays what they have been up to. This lets users see what their friends have been doing and join in!
With advanced privacy configuration options and configurable preview options for each content type, this mod compliments other modifications like InfoPanels and produces a more detailed and verbose feed of the happenings on the forum.

Forum Live Feed & User Wall v1.2.2:
Feature: Status updates can now be deleted
Feature: Added profile tab for user walls (does not automatically update, but contains links to the full "live" user wall). This tab can be turned off via a setting in vBulletin Options.
Fix: Will no longer interfere with vBAdvanced.

For the same reason as edited posts etc don't update, deleted status updates won't vanish from other peoples' walls until they reload the page / it vanishes off their feed naturally.
This is to preserve resources and cannot be changed at this time.

PS: To whoever who was asking for censor to be implemented: This already worked, it's built-in to the BBCode parsing

Awesome, that may entice me to purchase the Pro version instead.

Just a heads up, I registered for your forums to post the feature request but I keep getting the following error when trying to post: "The question Website URL: is missing required info." Even though I have filled out the url box with www.mysite.com/forums

[DragonByte Tech]

Try using http:// in front of it, there may be an issue with the regexp we use to validate URLs

Is it possible to limit comments on the first post only?

[DragonByte Tech]

That's not currently possible, sorry

Comments are also a Pro-only feature
