Detailed who's online...

Post by TheMole »

I noticed that the who's online page has become a bit more detailed (shows which forum that you're currently reading a topic in) than the old one.

Just wondering if you're thinking of adding any more detail into it? Like in vB's "Posting reply in topic 'Topic Name'" or "Reading 'topic name'"

If not, is it worth adding it as a feature request or is it something that will only happen as a MOD?

:)

Hope you don't see this as a feature request. More a friendly question :p

I guess to some people it could be useful, but is it really necessary? :?

wouldn't be this - to a certain exent - maybe also a privacy issue? I mean, I already see the postings on the support forum... "I have seen that you have read my topic! Why don't you reply!" :D While I can see that it might be a useful feature, I would prefer if the "detailed whoisonline" can be disabled (assuming it becomes more detailed than it currently is). :)

I completely agree with primedomain; that would be a nightmare on phpBB.com. :D

Personally I like the idea and it's pretty much standard on other BBS.. But I guess it should stay as a MOD :)

Perhaps a more advanced "hidden" option would be good. You can choose whether to hide your status completely or just hide which thread you are reading or replying to.

not to mention that if you had >100 (hell, >30) users on at once that would be an INSANE amount of data...

Sorry if I've missed something but isn't this the case already?

Its standard on many forums so I can't see it being a privacy issue - 'hidden' users are hidden from the who's online list anyway right?

The only thing I would be worried about is normal members being able to see topic titles etc to topics in private forums (or is this taken care of?)

Cheers
ZOO :)
