I wondered about this Watch Thread feature. I've wanted to use it but (at least in Netscape 6.2.1) I haven't been able to tell how or if it does anything at all. If this feature isn't broken, could someone please explain how it works? I'd like to use it. I'm planning on downloading 0.9.8 when it comes out.
