That is damn nice. Way better than the Forum Jump/subscribing.;)

Biggest sensation since MRoogle!:D Can't we have a link for that at the top too?
 
Woah, this is amazing.


I can't wait to see what it will be like on an Apple Event day. :)
 
Neat, but kinda creepy and addictive (like watching a stock ticker).


In a way it reminds me of this[ArsTechnica], but a little more benign.
 
This is way too addicting. I think I'll stick with the new posts button for now, but I'm glad this is here if I need it.

That kind of works, but it doesn't let you know if anyone has responded to your comment. What I'm looking for is a way to filter the "new posts" search to only include threads I've commented on.

You can do something like that (I think I understand what you're looking for, but if I don't I apologize in advance) by using the advanced search function. Under the search by username field type in your username and you should get a list of all the threads you have posted in, sorted by the most recently updated. I've yet to figure out how to bookmark that search though.

Would it be possible to make this thing pause if the mouse is over a link? I keep clicking on the wrong threads because it scrolls down in the meantime. Maybe that's just the nature of the beast though.

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to bookmark search results for the longest time.
 
This new feature means that I have spent the last two hours staring at a constantly updating list of topics and try to respond to as many as possible. This is going to dominate my life. And the day before school starts! How could you!?
 
It's very cool how you can follow a user around the boards, seeing their new posts appear as they go.

You can actually get an idea of the person's character, or current mood by reading their replies made in the same session.

As I said before, groovy.

True, I've been watching lexus, he seems a little moody today.

MacRumors.com is pleased to announce a new feature for our active Mac forums.

The Forum Spy (http://spy.macrumors.com) provides visitors with real-time updates of all new forum activity. This means you get instant updates when users post new messages on the forums.

The Forum Spy is open to everyone but registered forum users have additional options including:

• Excluding specific forums
• Hilight those on your Buddies list
• Ignore those on your Ignore list
• Hilight Subscribed threads

Forum Spy is based on the same technology behind MacRumorsLive and requires a modern browser with Javascript enabled (this includes recent versions of Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox).

So if you haven't been an active member of the forums, now's your chance to follow along and participate in the discussions.

Is it Highlight, or is this a new spelling i.e. Thruway?
