Show Thread Enhancements - [DBTech] AJAX Threads v1 (vB3)

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!

Sorry to be a pain but I am trying to help you polish this Mod as much as possible as I think it's one of the best I've used therefore I have one more issue.

Sometimes when a thread has been going and I reply it takes me back to the old page, older replies and most times I have to scroll way down because after submitting the reply it takes me back (for example) to post 10 when the thread is currently up to post 40 (single page)

[Wonksta]

Update: The issue is more sinister it doesn't send the reply. So this is going back to the issue of the Mod randomly not sending the content of my post to the server when this happens it just takes me back to my old posts. :\


Update

This is a really strange issue when I submit a reply instead of the new reply appearing as the newest it appears about 5 posts back as if it was posted earlier. When I try make another post it simply inserts the post into the same post as before (5 posts back) it's like editing the old post with my new reply. It's really strange.

I've had to disable this mod across my network

I'll try to look into this any further but I can't make any promises, nothing like this happened during my testing

is there anyway to make it so the page doesn't jump around as its being refreshed? i found it almost impossible to read my threads when the refreshes were occurring, i would always be jumped to a different location than where i was reading. i would be willing to pay someone to help me modify this

We recommend disabling AJAX Threads (or set the cut-off amount higher than your per page setting) for very active threads for this very reason.

There's sadly no way to fix it that I'm aware of

There's no use for this mod on an inactive thread. I will try upping the cut-off amount, but if that doesn't work then I'll head back to using Live Topic as it doesn't have this problem.

Possible to remove the LIVE image from thread titles?

Disable the "Forum Display: Append Image" plugin via the Plugin Manager.

AdminCP >> Plugins & Products >> Plugin Manager >> Product : DragonByte Tech: AJAX Threads (Lite)
Forum Display: Append Image - threadbit_display
Uncheck the Active box and save (Save Active Status right at the bottom of the page)

[DragonByte Tech]

There should also be a vBulletin Option for this in the latest version.
