Also various people pointed out that /monitor either doesn't work right and/or doesn't make any sense. I've changed it a bit, although it still might be the case that it doesn't make much sense.
When you go to /monitor the system looks and sees if there is anything you haven't read on any pages you are tracking. If so, you immediately get sent to the front page of the site where the unread stuff should be apparent (although it's possible to track a page that is not listed on your home page, so this could be confusing - hmmm, I'll have to think about that.)
If there is nothing new for you the page will go black and it will list any other people who are presently using the monitor (this wasn't working quite right either, but should be now.) It checks the site once a minute (probably too often, but there's so few of us and it's so little bandwidth, I figured what the hell) and either reloads the black page (with updated list of people monitoring) or takes you to the front page of the site as soon as there is anything new. The idea is that you can leave it up on your desktop and tell at a glance if anything new has been added without actually going to the site yourself. As long as the screen is black, nothing new has happened. When something does happen it takes you to the front page and stops reloading, so even if you leave it up on the black /monitor page it won't just reload to infinity (it will only reload until anyone else posts something.)
Yes this is not terribly useful, but it should at least work now.
