4chan's thread watcher.

The 4chan thread watcher addon from 2006.

A thread watcher is a feature in imageboards and some textboards where it periodically and/or manually refreshes a list of threads, checking for new reppeys.

On 4chan

You can enable a thread watcher in [Options] in the top right. You click to watch a thread, and it appears in the floating thread watcher window. Bold text indicates new replies and italic bold text indicates a (You).

On the 'arty

You used to be able to click a link next to a post and it would display a small notification in the bottom right, saying "New reply in /soy/123456". It disappeared in about 5 seconds and you couldn't middle click it to open the thread in a new tab, making it pretty annoying to use. This feature no longer exists due to lag. Do not investigate this matter any further.

It will be added back in nusoi.
