Thread Watcher v1.0
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shack_thread_watcher.user.js
Today I come to you with yet another offering to help get the most out of your Shack Experience(tm).
Have you ever refreshed the entire chatty when really all you want to do is see if your thread has any more replies? Have you ever put your thread in a separate tab so you can easily refresh it often to check for replies? Do you click the refresh icon on interesting threads about 30 times per minute because you are eager to see new posts?
If you answered "Yes!!!" to any of the above, this script is for you*!! This script allows you to "watch" a thread in a separate tab, meaning that it will automatically refresh every 60 seconds and update the title of the tab when there are new posts. When you open a single thread in a new tab, the root post will have a nifty yellow refresh icon:

Whoa cool!
If you click that icon, it will start spinning around! Awesome! The title of the page will change to show a "summary" of the thread you are watching (the first few words of the root post.) Every 60 seconds while the Thread Watcher is on, the thread will automagically refresh. If there are any new posts, the title of the page will change to indicate how many new posts have been made since you last checked. Observe:

Amazing!
As soon as you click on any post in the thread to read, the count will reset to zero.
Known Bug:
x If you reply to the thread, the watcher icon will disappear. You will not be able to turn the watcher on or off until you F5 the page. This will not be fixed.
Install it here!

* This script is not really for you. It's for me but you can pretend it is for you if that makes you feel special.!
