The way it works is: Using tabs located on the left you can open up any number of threads at the same time. While they are open they are constantly checking for new posts and will notify you when one has arrived. You can always get back to the listing of threads by clicking the thread tab on your left. You will also notice that all current stock quotes and changes are located next to the thread symbol in the tabs and in the general thread list. (some stocks may not show, we are working on that.)
