Just dropping by to tell you how much I like the focus feature. Really this is just what I considered doing in greasemonkey (and with massive resource wastage)!

Great work! Thanks a lot.

Thanks! Sometimes it turns out it's easier to waste those resources on the server side.

We're currently trying to track down a problem where threads you remove from focus sometimes come back, just as an FYI to anybody who sees this thread and thinks we're not aware of the problem.


I don't think I've successfully removed one yet, to be honest. ;) Glad it's being worked on.


I uh, must have missed the memo. Could somebody kindly tell me what this does?

I'm with Twigs. I have zero idea what 'focus' does...

Focus "Displays only dotted threads and recently viewed threads with new posts." There's a clickable link at the top of your view whenever you're looking at the threads in a forum.

Dotted threads are ones where you've posted. I'm not sure exactly what "recently viewed" means (how recent, etc), but it works pretty well to filter out the threads you may not be interested in.

Jinkies! That's awesome for finding the PBPs I'm in, rather than scanning over a couple pages of threads!

Is there a way to limit it to only specific forums? I'd rather keep PBPs focused, but not the rest of the forums...

Or is toggling it on or off the easy fix?

I asked the same thing, not surprisingly. I think you just have to turn it off when not in use.

Set, have you seen this?

That particular page doesn't show recent activity, which is generally what I'm using focus for.

Holy crap! No, I had not! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

It gives you (x new) on the threads that have new posts in them since your last visit.

Oops, I stand corrected!
