Thread viewers

Can you guys turn on the feature that shows what active users are looking in a specific thread? I go to some vbulletin boards that do this, it just shows at the bottom of the thread who all is currently viewing. I know we can already see who's viewing a section, like the Steve's Forum section, but I'd like to see who visiting per thread while I'm in one. The forum that I go to that has this feature turned on is vbulletin version 3.5.1, I'm not sure what version OS is using.

I like that feature on other forums as well.

Well, yeah

Like you used to be able to see if someone was replying, and then you'd wait to see what they said, now you have no idea if they are even reading the same thread.

Matt can touch on this, but I am pretty sure this was one of the things our coder was going to get to, but unfortunately he is gone now.

When we get another coder, we'll make sure it is fixed.

There's actually just a setting in vbulletin that enables this. It's under Thread Display Options in the Control Panel. I believe it can affect performance though.

Re: Thread viewers

Yeah, it is a built in feature of vbulletin. We deliberately have it turned off as it is known to slow down the load times on popular forums. OS is obviously very popular so turning it on would slow things down, therefore, its off. Sorry about that.

Well, before the OS update that added the Arena stuff we used to be able to see what a particular user was doing by clicking on their name. We could use this to see if they were replying to a post or private message of ours. But now after we got the Arena, clicking on names will just take us to the user's Arena.

Is there anyway a user's current status (offline, viewing X thread, private messaging, etc) could be added to a user's Arena Scouting Report (or somewhere) so that we can stalk people again?

Re: Thread viewers

That is a highly requested feature. Its top of our list, however unfortunately we are without a dedicated coder to take care of it.
