iSpy (the Sherlock icon at the top for the observant impaired) is really quite interesting. It's really what I hoping the RSS built into vB would be. After I check for New Posts for the day, I will just leave it on iSpy rather than keep clicking the New Posts button.

Excellent addition Timmeh! :D

Hehe, found this thread using the iSpy button that I just had to click! Nice little feature--I'll have to play around for a bit.

Err.... Please forgive me, but I can't quite figure out what iSpy does. Is it like New Posts?

It's a nice way to see all forum activity right as it's happening (new posts and new threads). The idea is to open the page and it gets automatically updated and there is the pause/play button there to start or stop the list from refreshing.

What interval have you set for polling the lookup script? Is this gonna hurt the server at all?

Hmm, what's the relationship between this and "Mark Forums Read?" If I click that, shouldn't this clear out like "New Posts" does? Or does iSpy stylishly show all new events in the last 60 minutes?

Say you have the iSpy page open, and someone makes a new thread, it'll get updated on the iSpy page, it works just like the one over at Digg does.
