Clark,

I don't explicitly create one. However, from inside the beginning of the method that runs in this secondary thread, I did print a trace of the output of [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] and I did get information about the current runloop, which I assumed was set up when I detached. Am I to assume that this loop is actually the main run loop?

I've searched everywhere and cannot find the answer to this question. I have
a method that uses NSThread to detach another method in a different thread.
This method will then schedule another method but only after a certain delay
so I use performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: but that second method is
never called. What am I missing?

Do you have an NSRunLoop running in your thread? performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: schedules the method call on the current thread's runloop; if it isn't running, then the method will never be called.
