Users Viewing
I think on the old forums it allowed you to see who was browsing what forum when you were in the particular forum, for instance atm it says 1 person is viewing lyrics, I dont know, im just interested in who it is, but unless I click on everyone I wont know, Would you be able to add a users browsing section on the top of each forum...

If you click the "Who's Online" button it tells you who is doing what. I find it kind of strange, and I don't really like that feature. I feel I lose privacy because of it, which is why I don't like it. I mean it tells me if people are editing their profile or private messaging.

So, this feature is for members who want to know what everyone else is doing instead of doing their own viewing?

*Quickly stops viewing who's online*
What kind of sick individual would want to know who's doing what?
I was surprised when I found that feature... and even more surprised when it showed who was "Private" Messaging. Not really all that private any more.

I liked it when it identified who else was in the same forum but think it's rather odd to have a list showing of who's doing what. The one that really puzzled me when I went to check (I didn't even know it existed until I read this post) was the 'Guest' doing modifications. What can a Guest modify and how come?

Talia, do you work for the post office? Your avatar looks postal.

Pen, no I work for a Bank. My avatar is the emblem for my football team. Not the one I play for, the one I support. The West Coast Eagles.
