DISCLAIMER: The latest major version of this program (1.10) changes the handling of child threads. If you used the auto-follow feature of the 1.9.0 version and still have child threads, they will be converted to the new format. However, you are advised to make a backup of both your "threads.txt" file (in the "%AppData%\Chan Thread Watch" folder) and your child threads (nested in their parent's folder) in case anything happens during the conversion.
