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.
due to this thread having a huge list of responses i would like to optimize my time and make it easier for people to know what the current bugs/issues are.
Please go here to report and keep track of current bugs in Live Topic, you may also request features.
I have installed your mod, and i think the concept is absolutely amazing, however it doesn't work for me ... I have attached a screen shot to explain the following.
Scenario:
I create a topic
My friend reply to the topic
A blank space appears
I reply back
The screen shot attached is what you get.
Any help with this would be appreciated
Thanks
P.S the screen shot looks like that, because i got a little too excited while blurring stuff, and decided to blur everything that wasn't needed for this problem

and provide me with all the mods your forum has installed (if your using firefox you can hold down the control key while your in the ACP on the Product page and select all the product names... copy it and paste it)
The easiest way to figure out whats conflicting is multiple detailed reports.
I would like to remove the signs of livetopic; i.e the image and the annoying yellow box saying that the post has been added by livetopic (it looks incredibly bad on my skin). How can I do this? I've looked everywhere and have no clue.
