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.

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!

Nice mod. Does the pro version allow users to turn on/off the setting through usercp?

[DragonByte Tech]

Not at this time, sorry

Is it possible to configure this mod so that only threads that are specifically selected get the auto-update treatment? Sort of opposite to how it seems to work now by default, unless I'm missing something?

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't believe that's possible at this time, sorry

together with this module installed "First post on all Pages", the first message is displayed in the pages of 3-4 after their first message disappears after 5 seconds (automatic update). How to make the first message was left on all pages?

[DragonByte Tech]

These two modifications are incompatible with each other, sorry

Hello Fillip,

I installed this mod on vB 4.2.2 patch level 3 and everything seems fine but the threads do not update live. If I click the "reload" link, it just gives me a blank javascript url and nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you! I have tried disabling mods, I just can't figure it out.

Edit: Problem solved. ajaxthreads.php is not included in the uploads folder, it's in the main directory of the downloaded contents, so therefore that file never existed on my server.
