Installed a cool little forum plugin that will allow for live topics, this means if a topic is getting a lot of posts all at once then you will be informed if there is a new post in that topic that your posting in. A topic will remain live for a.
A topic will be live for 5 min after a user has posted in it - which means after 5 min of no one posting it will go back to being a regular topic again.
You will see a little icon next to the topic saying "Live Topic" if it is live

Works pretty well
Havent been around recently when the forum has had a lot of people chatting all at once (one bad point about living in Perth Australia) so havent had the chance to see it in action until today.
Strongly considering raising the time a thread remains active though, 5 min seems a little short as far as my first impressions go.

Hah yeah we have that at NI which i like cus when peeps are arguing you can sit and wait for someone to reply. Of course theres the 'Invisible Mode' so that no-one can see you watching. Thats for the stealth lurkers.

Back on topic, about to extend the time a topic is "live" out to 8 min and see how that treats us
