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 ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* 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.

We appreciate the support!

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!

Does not work on 4.1.2 neither. Uninstalled and received fatal error, almost ruined my entire site. Thank God for backup.

Did you happen to copy the error, that would help debug the issue?

I just downloaded the version from here and it works just fine on my site.

What type of server are you on, what are the specs?

Did you try and disable other mods to see if it conflicting with another mod?

We could try looking into it, but I'm unsure.


@all the people posting "does not work": I cannot help when I do not get more information than that. I need an error message or a detailed description, not three words

seems to work for some people, but not others... but is creating double posts occasionally.

no errors to report

[DragonByte Tech]

Double posts on quick reply is something I believe I've taken care of in my internal build (hotfixed for Pro), I'll update Lite with it if I can confirm it's not happening again

v1.0.2
Fix: The mod would refuse to function on vBulletin 4.x if you were not using the "Suite" (i.e. lacked vBulletin CMS installed).
Fix: Hopefully fixed Quick Reply post duplication issues

A special note on the Quick Reply issue: It exist(ed?) because I wanted to make replies you made via Quick Reply show up if you had multiple tabs of the same thread open. If v1.0.2 does not fix it, I have devised an alternative method that should fix it.
