What niek_e said. Whenever someone views a thread, the notification keeps appearing over and over again until they leave the thread.
Oh, and by the way, nice avatar :P

Basically what is happening is this particular thread is multiple pages, and each time the person clicks to go to to a different page, or reload the current page, it appears again. This isn't a bug.

No, I don't believe that's the reason. Sometimes this happens with myself too. I open a thread in another tab, then switch back to Subscription Spy and I see repeated notifications of me viewing the thread even though I haven't clicked on anything since.
And I've seen this occurring on threads that have less than 10 posts, which I believe is the forum default cutoff for a page.

I would need you to provide me with step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce this, as I haven't witnessed it myself.

Ok:
1. Click subscription-spy
2. Wait a minute
3. Take screenshot
:)
I tried on 2 different machines, both running WinXP-sp2. One has IE7 and FF3 the other FF2. Bug happens on all of them, with or without ad-block

using vista home and ie7: I see the same behavior. Sometimes its two or three threads repeated over and over.

niek_e: There is no proof that the user didn't refresh the page.
AD: It just so happens that the particular post that was repeated was edited by the user right after it was posted, which would explain the behaviour.

I kept it up for awhile, and I am seeing some repetitive behaviour after all. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can find a pattern.
