No idea what category you were in but ot is at this right now:

There are currently 130 logged in users, and 55 guests browsing this category, making a total of 185.


Pretty simple how this works, if you are in a thread listing in a category the figure given is for that category.

It would be cool to see which users are currently browsing that particular category too.

prodigy, kind of impossible, as guests have no identity. The feature is htere really more for forum owners to tell how well each category is doing. It's neat for users too to see how many people are in the category with them.

It works for smaller sites, but for something like anandtech that would be crazy.


Exactly. Also, I turned that feature off at my site because I personally would not like to be tracked like that, many members also had the same concern.

Zuni, would it be possible to list the number or pecentage of the logged in users who are subscribers? THAT would be a very interesting number to track. ;)

Is it just me, or has this feature been removed for further development? It was around for a couple days and then gone.

Thanks Zuni...

Gone for me too. I liked the thing that said how many lurkers there are, but the number of people viewing each forum was a bit of overkill imo.

Just came by to say it was gone. I kinda liked it :p

It was funny how Hot Deals would have like 8 times the users/guests of Off Topic, but there are so many more posts in OT :)
