Are you talking about a feature that updates the main page / forum pages / PMs and such in real-time or are you talking about a feature that refreshes the pages after X seconds?

That's what the RSS Feed links are for.

It could be a good idea, for the reasons you and Smallhacker pointed out. You'd know very quickly when a new message was posted, but I think the somewhat constant page refreshes would get kind of annoying. Unless it was disabled while you were reading posts in a thread, it'd be frustrating to have the page suddenly refresh while you were reading

You can also click the 'Mark all forums read' link at the top of the page, click the 'Main' link, and then periodically refresh the page. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's still a way to do something like that without having to add something else to the site.

The thing I realized is that something like this is a bit like the system I saw in place at a few other boards. While making a post, or a new thread, you could select an option to have notification emails sent to you when someone posts a reply after yours. I don't know about others, but I made use of that option quite a bit, and it filled up my email storage quite quickly

Also, the RSS Feed links on the bottom of the board pages probably do something like that, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to get those to work.

Not to say that it's a bad idea, but I myself don't think it's very practical

Edit: HyperHacker beat me to the thing about the RSS Feed
