    Default People viewing forum/sub forum/thread...

    I notice you can no longer see if anyone/who is viewing a thread or sub forum.

    There used to be listed at the top or bottom of the page IIRC.

    Is it going to be brought back as I found it handy in heated discussions???

    Thanks for the speedy response...

    But does anybody know if it will be fixed or brought back?

    Simetrical did answer that, that's why I posted that link:

    lol I did read that but he only states "Not right now" which is rather vague.

    Its all the answer anyone else can give you, either... basically it means "No, not at the moment, nor in the forseeable future", I think.

    If I knew what percentage of viewers are logged in I might be more comfortable enabling this for logged-in users only. As things stand, it could significantly increase server load, and so until there are some improvements or benchmarking on the backend, I'm not willing to enable it. Eventually, sure, but not right now.

    Besim says it does. He tested it. He also said, that the priority is to decrease server load with all means (even the skin helps), due to the large traffic lately.
