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! 
Owwh, this almost slipped my eye ! Excellent addition indeeeed!
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.

Awesome feature!
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.
That really something, very practical.

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.
EDIT : I was wrong for the method it uses . It rocks, it updates immediatly when I post
its so digg-esque
You Would Of Averted Confusion If You Just Replaced New Posts With This

I'm noticing a little problem with the iSpy. For the new posts (which are bold), the thread image (with paper and thumbtack) is not showing up, instead, text for "New Post" is in its place. Secondly, the columns for the Thread and By are switched on the new posts rows from the old post rows.
Danke.
Bumping an old thread is cause for ba--oh hi wizard, didn't see you there .
Anyway, I think the first issue might be a cache problem on your side. Everything looks fine on my side. Also, I'm not sure what you mean with your second point...maybe that's also a cache problem?
