    Hey Shawn & everyone else who views this,

    Firstly congrats on the transformation again :) Awesome job, Really Awesome job considering the amount of custom coded mods you had running on the old VB version.

    One feature I liked was the fact you could see X amount of people viewing a forum or Topic.. I am sure I will be the only one missing that feature lol.. so asking for it to come back probably wont happen just on my request.. It was more of the fact after you posted a "Sale Thread" or just a thread in general you could somewhat sit back and stalk your sale lol.. I know it's sad but when I was in need of funds I will admit i would stalk my threads here and there to see who was looking at them, it also gave me a chance to suss out the "Potential" buyer before even bothering to deal with them.

    Assuming this was possible (I don't think there is actually a XF option to display this info) would it cause much extra stress on the server ?

    Assuming it wasn't going to strain the server and assuming even further you liked this feature as much as me (and hopefully other people liked this as well) and were to create your own mod to achieve this.. would this be a massive task / a hard addon to create ?

    I purchased my first of many XF licenses the other day (Well not first but when i owned one when XF first came out I sold my project and license).. I must say I really do wish i had of had my head buried deep in the XF Coding a long time ago now.. I feel like i am now chasing my tail a little.. Better late than never they say but as the fate of XF was unknown I stupidly played it safe and kept up my WP Skills / Coding (STUPID I KNOW, Regretting it now).. This was my first ever XF Style: http://i.imgur.com/R0j7p4S.png hoping to get stuck into XF asap, not just the design aspect but coding as well, I would kill to have 1/10th of your coding ability Shawn what you have done here is awesome.

    Regards, Darren

    It is already discussed here .. Shawn is not interested because it use resources and have to use more queries for that and there is no use of this feature.
    IF you can convince him that "this feature is really useful" then he will think about it
    we had already tired :p

    Cheers for that.. I hadn't seen other threads about it sorry.. Thanks for answering all of my questions tho, it's good to know it would cause extra strain on the server now i can forget about that idea for my own sites.

    Hey at least i wasn't the only one who like that feature lol I was worried people would reply saying "What would you want that for".

    Regards, Darren
