New Posts Notifier - Enable it and the page will check for new posts every 30 seconds - 'Snorlax - Aug 6, 2013

What does it do?
Press the "Start notifying" button before the "Thread Options"-option. The page will then reload every 30 seconds, and notify you with an alert if there is a new post.
Only 1 thread is possible at the time.
New updates!
You can now start and stop the checker! This now also checks if a new page has been made (because the 10th post will make a new page)!

Nothing against it, but why not just click "Your Posts" then?

Because if you're checking for new posts, this will make it automatic. You will no longer need to go to the page, press refresh, wait for the page to load and then read the reply.
With this, you simply set it to refresh, and it will refresh and notify you if a new post has been posted.
It's kinda like going to Facebook. Who would want to open their notification page and refresh it to check for new notifications? ;)

Thanks for this script.
So we can enable the feature and still browse HF in another tab?

I'd like to propose a suggested update... something I did on my own, but just saying....
1: Do you think you could introduce a visible timer on the page, detailing time remaining until refresh? I fiddled with this for another forum i built this for... this is the code I use.
Code
function runScript(){
var count = 29;
$("#threadstatus").html("<strong><font color=\"#00FF00\">(Enabled)</font></strong>");
$("#notifyThread").html("<strong>Disable Automatic Refreshing</strong>");
$("#timetorefresh").html(30);
$("#threadstatus2").html("<strong><font color=\"#00FF00\">(Enabled)</font></strong>");
$("#notifyThread2").html("<strong>Disable Automatic Refreshing</strong>");
$("#timetorefresh2").html(30);
interval = setInterval(function(){
if (count >= 6) {
$("#timetorefresh").html(count);
$("#timetorefresh2").html(count);
}
if (count <= 5 && count >= 1) {
$("#timetorefresh").html("<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + count + "</font>");
$("#timetorefresh2").html("<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + count + "</font>");
}
if (count == 0) {
$("#timetorefresh").html("Refreshing...");
$("#timetorefresh2").html("Refreshing...");
location.reload();
}
count--;
}, 1000);
}If you could implement this as an update, that would be lovely.

Nah mate it's okay. I never use it and I've never heard of anyone using it, so I see no need for it.
Feel free to do it yourself if you want. If you release my script, then just credit me.

Does it only work with old school theme? It doesn't seem to work for me.

Works on new as well. What problem are you getting?
