Some kind of thing at the bottom, that shows who is currently viewing that thread. Is it possible? I think it would be interesting.

It's possible but uneeded. Why would anyone care?

"OH MAN BENJAMAN IS VIEWING MY THREAD!?!?!?!? THANK JESUS"

"OH MAN BENJAMAN IS VIEWING MY THREAD!?!?!?!? THANK JESUS"

I suppose it would be such an honor to have me looking in their thread :hmm:

Makes the forum more interesting, bring a new aspect to spame being such as "WHOEVER LOOKS IN THIS THREAD IS GAY" or "I POST MAN PORN ITT".

I don't think it would be possible without a code edit, and we definitely shouldn't do it even if it doesn't need one. It's like adding an automatic circle-jerk tool to the forum.

Yeah, I fail to see what that would accomplish.

I don't even really care who else is in the forum at the same time as I, let alone who's in the same thread.

The only place where this would be useful would be Spame, and even then, it'd be more likely to cause people to circle jerk than anything else.

You can already see what forum/thread a specific person is viewing if you look in their profile.

This is a bad idea. There is no need for it. If someone wants to know what I am viewing they can look in my profile, but I have a feeling that most people do not care what everyone else is looking at.

Hahahaha, Axidos. Seemed like such a smart fellow too. :blanky:

I didn't know about that /online.php thing, though. Thank you Mirrorboy.

I knew about that, but I want to see what is being looked at, not who is looking at what. Plus haha at Axidos.

Huh? I'm lost now. Care to explain?

The thing you showed, I knew about. But with that I can see what people are looking at, not what is being looked at by people.

So I can go there and see that you are looking at Fan Art or something.

But if I look at Fan Art, I can see everyone looking at Fan Art.
Mirrorman

So you mean that you want a button behind lets say Fan Art and when you click it, you can see everybody who's looking at Fan Art?
Benjaman

Exactly, but doesn't necessarily need a button, but thats okay.

Oh. Like the Currently Active users box in the bottom of each forum?
Benjaman
10-30-2007, 4:37 PM
That's a perfect example. Something like that.

I was gonna say this idea's a bit creepy and stalker-ish, but if there's already that page Mirrorboy posted, it's futile to complain. (I never knew about that.)

BWAHAHAAHA!
