Ok so Live Topic is a plug-in. I've seen it used on a few forums and it's extremely helpful.
It does two things, possibly among others I am unaware of. It both places a small 'live topic' icon next to hot threads, which I don't think we need and can be turned off via ACP, and it automatically updates threads. Which means that you don't have to reload for newer posts to appear, they just kinda fade into the thread once they're posted, kinda like FB comments.
I think this could be extremely helpful during heated debates or when the DCC(s) are getting crowded.
What do you guys think? (I'm not sure if this could cause any unwanted server-stress, I really hope it doesn't).
