Miscellaneous Hacks - [DBTech] Forum Live Feed & User Wall v1 (vB4) [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.

Just a little note that for feature requests if possible it's best to post them in the support forums at DBTech - we have a custom system there to track them to make sure they don't get lost/overlooked. Posts on vB.org tend to get lost in the shuffle/forgotten >.<

This update is pure gold!
My forums are much faster now! Also the option to update the settings if your site loads slow in admincp to your liking is a huge plus

Is it possible to exclude some certain forums to show posts on Live Feed?
Thanks,

No worries.. gotta break out of the vb.org junkie posting habit. .lol

Looks quite great.
Is it possible to Follow a particular user?

We were hoping to use it like a 'soundoff' table where the latest show or release is announced by a user part of a particular usergroup with access to post. Then any other member can 'follow' that user to ensure they get notified of each show/released.

Any way to turn off the Wall on the Profile and Just use the One In the Forum blocks?
Would be a great way for our setup to run this mod for our needs...
