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.
Does anyone else have issues with this not working? I have uploaded everything to the correct place, I have left the settings as default. My Browsers aren't automatically showing posts. I am using 2 accounts on 2 browsers.
Main account = google chrome
Test account = internet explorer 7
it won't auto update. How many people have to be watching the thread?

You might want to read the thread. There are some modifications that conflict with this mod.
I'm starting to think it's something on the computer level.
I disabled all mods but live topic, made sure I had the latest macromedia player and such, and then tested again in both FF and IE7, neither work still.
I bought this computer from newegg, and it came with the OS installed. At first I thought I was the main admin, but it seems there's some hidden original admin account or something. I have full admin privileges, but could this possibly be the problem?
I don't understand what the macromedia player has to do with this mod.
If you think it's your computer, try this on another computer. Or, if you installed this on a test site, ask your mods to test it out.
I guess it doesn't, thought I read that somewhere in the pages, bleh.
Anyways, I just went and tested on my other computer and it works fine, so it's definitely a computer thing, cause the browser was FF with the same addons as this comp.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it was what I mentioned earlier. I realize this isn't a computer technical help section, but I'm pretty sure this "hidden god admin" or whatever is what's ruining it for me, I think someone mentioned that earlier. Any way to fix it other than reformatting?
Hi, my postbit legacy has a lot of things displaying. Live topics being short, is there a conditional I could use to disable all the post elements while in live topic mode, so it only displays username? Otherwise I end up with a short reply with lots of empty spaces.
