Oh, and what is vBISpy??

Something that isn't going to be available to the general public, as it would be too much of a server hog if it was.

It's basically an addon that allows us to see new posts immediately as they are posted, in a scrolling page.

Its too bad we couldn't have the option in the CP to delete all but the last post in a thread in the post history or a save only last post in a thread option. It was explained to me already why not, but for example...you do a contest and end up with 5 pages of post history in the same thread, then to find your other post you have to go back through all the pages of history. Maybe set it up to where it just hides it for you in the CP but others could see the whole history and wouldn't actually delete it. It would save server space otherwise though.

I dunno...maybe a stretch I guess...but we can put a man on the moon dang it. LOL

I was just getting to like it, but I see the point of it being a server hog.

Would that work on individual threads too...like say CONTEST threads??:p

nicotime, it's a live scrolling list of all new posts. You can just sit there and watch all the new posts scroll by. It can also be modified to just show the new posts in your subscriptions.

I don't know if it could be programmed to just show one thread, it wasn't up long enough for me to try that.

I can tell you this much though, from what I saw, it's going to make it a lot easier for the moderators to find rule violating posts !!!

That would be nice Jerry, just think having that on a contest thread...no more F5-ing. :D
