Live Demo:

Live Topic 1.07b Demo (you must be logged in, and the topic must be "live")

Videos: 1.00b 1.06b
Description: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.
​
Installation:
This is take less than 3 minutes to install, takes longer to notice its amazing feature. (you need multiple people to be active in the same topic)

Upgrade:
[1.01b to 1.XXb] Uninstall the product, then reinstall it. Overwrite all old files with new files and you should be fine.

[1.02b to 1.03b] Overwrite files, upgrade product (dont install product)[1.03b to 1.04b] Uninstall the product, then reinstall it. Overwrite all old files with new files and you should be fine.

This isn't working for me in 3.8.0

Not sure if I've missed something.

Are there any other settings, other than those in admin cp-> vbulletin options-> Live topic ?

These are the only settings/ options I see that can be altered:

Live Topic
Thread Idle Time
Amount of time it takes for a topic to no longer be active.

Error:
1
User Idle Time
Time it takes for a user to no longer be an active user.

Error:
1
Request Interval
In milliseconds

Error:
1
Maximum Visible Posts
The maximum amount of posts that a user in a live topic can see. You can set it to 0 for no max (the thread page just keeps getting longer). Once the maximum has been reached the oldest post on the page will be removed from the dom.

think you need to look at your board so far in last 3 posts nothing working for you! maybe all these hacks you have installed are clashing with each other

I have 14 different forums. I am not running more than 5 hacks on ANY of them.

It is actually working. I had to clear my cache. :)

But I would still like to know this-
