XF 1.1 No notification while reading conversation?

[Spenser]

One of my users noticed that there is no notification about new replies while you read a conversation. Is this by design?
He noticed that there is no way (besides pressing F5) to see that there is a new reply to the conversation you are reading while you are reading.
I guess he is right.

Is this by design?

Yes.

The system doesn't live update any content in that manner: conversations, threads, feeds, etc.

Various suggestions relating to this have been made.
