I saw this in the Invader Zim thread. Why... and how? (to get a topic to become live)

I think it appears whenever a post is made, basicly it means most recently posted in... I think...

It marks a thread as automatically updating, if you sit on the last page while it's 'live' it'll display new posts and edits automatically. They only last so long, 5 minutes I believe is the maximum, and I think if you stay on the page too long it'll stop updating (to avoid idle people bogging down the server [as if]).
