"Live Topic" feature just added by Boss

If you're something unusual when you look at the topic board now, it looks like Boss just added a great new vBulletin feature called "Live Topic".

What this does, is if there has been a post in a thread within the past 5 minutes, the topic is considered "Live". If you viewing that thread and it's "Live" and somebody posts something while you are reading it, you don't have to refresh. It will automatically refresh without you losing your spot and show the new post... It will give you a warning in the thread at the bottom of the screen that a new post has been submitted.

Re: "Live Topic" feature just added by Boss

REDblooded did a good job of explaining the addon but I have it set to only display a topic as "Live" if it's been responded to within the past three minutes and not the default of five.

Not working in tORG game thread tonight. I'm not the only one it's not working with, so it's gotta be the feature itself.

Re: "Live Topic" feature just added by Boss

Thanks for letting me know - it should be working now. This addon is incompatible with the video addon we use to embed YouTube videos in posts so one will have to go (unless I can find a replacement for the latter). For now, I've disabled that addon.

I believe I've found a replacement video addon that is compatible with the Live Topic addon. I will be installing it ASAP.

Just saw it work.

That was kind of cool how it "faded" in with the new post.
