It still doesn't show up for me anymore.
I've had it up and made a lot of posts with no result.
Hmm...and refreshing Forum Spy doesn't bring them up? Do you have any new ad-blocking stylesheets or software that would be preventing from being seen?
Refreshing does nothing.
I checked and I don't have any enabled. It's this way in FireFox, Safari, Shiira, and Camino.
I've never seen it in Forum Spy - where does it appear? Is there a preference somewhere?
It really shows subscribed threads, so it will show "your" threads if you turn on autosubscribe in the regular forum prefs.
I think that indicates subscribed threads, not all threads to which you've replied.... because I see no such marks.
Edit: I guess it shows subscribed threads!

Oh, crud...that's right. I just have my preferences set up to auto-subscribe to threads I post in. And I don't subscribe to any other threads, so it all means the same thing in my head.
Alright I set that up. It's under "Edit Options" in the User CP right? I have subscription set up with no emails.
(No surprise) I use it all the time - in fact, it's how I found this thread! I find it very useful indeed...

Well I'll be dipped! Thanks.
It's a really cool feature, I'm just not quite /that/ obsessed with the forums. I use the New Posts feature sometimes though.

I've been sitting here in front of the TV watching football all day with Forum Spy open (hey, I'm ill), and it's been at least three hours since I got my last "Are you still there?" message from it. Not that I'm complaining all that much, but I don't want MR's servers to explode from overuse by absentee Forum Spy users.
I use it when bored, eating my lunch, procrastinating, etc. I don't have it directly linked to my brain, though.
One annoying thing that's happened more than once: between deciding I want to visit one of the threads and the signal from my brain reaching the muscles in my mouse finger, the Spy has refreshed and pushed my desired link out the way and I end up in a different thread. Maybe I need to do clicking exercises.

Same thing happens to me...Safari briefly pauses before it updates with a new post, so sometimes you can click on a thread during that pause and it will delay responding to your click until after it gets bumped down the list, taking you to the wrong thread.
