This is in response to it not remaining in the public forums, maybe it would have a place in private (group) forums.
Why? Groups are small and group forums not even that active. I don't see the benefit.

Nice, glad you added it.
Wasn't this available in the past? I remember we had something like that. Or it simply was the "Users online" bar at the footer of the site which I remember

Rough and early thought but thinking out loud.. If the feature won't be used publicly, maybe it has a home in private subforums. It would need to be modified, however. Rebranding the feature to a "Viewed in the last 24 hours" or potentially giving leadership ability to adjust between 24h, 48h, 72h, 1w.
It's a bit off-topic from this thread but would be nice to see what group leaders and members think. Personally, I think the benefits are:
- Leadership can assess activity based off this
- Members can communicate efficiently with those who've seen such thread
- Overall, this would be a collaborative datapoint that can be used in many creative ways beyond what I can think of at this time
Or I'm just overthinking it and this would be over-engineered.

I miss this feature, I think it was active before 2018 or something. umm but it was below instead.
Yes, it was on the bottom. Moved to the top fold as I find that more valuable.

That's not how the feature works. It's literally based on real-time viewing of the thread. It is not a log of everyone who viewed the thread. What you're asking will not happen.

Awesome feature, I missed it honestly!
RE: Users Viewing Threads - SoulZeh - May 18, 2023
Not gonna lie, I thought I had Mentor or something before I saw this thread, wasn't this a feature a good while back or am I tripping?
Edit: ahh, read ALL replies, I guess I was right.
RE: Users Viewing Threads - Lrrr - May 18, 2023
I thought you had said at one point you only wanted this to be a feature where vendors could see their own thread. As it stands, it COULD be used by competitors to watch competing threads and contact potential customers of other vendors to try and steal away

Glad to see this feature back 💚
RE: Users Viewing Threads - Cameron - May 18, 2023
Always liked this feature especially when I used to be heavily involved in the marketplace, glad to see it's back (even if only temporarily) for Uber.

Yeah I like it much better on the top as well, much more noticeable and practical that way imo.
RE: Users Viewing Threads - Parks - May 19, 2023
Just saw this on a thread, it's awesome to see it back!! Thank you
RE: Users Viewing Threads - Vibe - May 19, 2023
Looks nice adds a bit of color to the forum, while providing some potentially useful insights.

Yes, likely what I'll do is write a more robust plugin for this. Looks like the hook location is a problem and I may have to do some core edits to accomplish that.
Since the feature does seem to be a hit what I may end up doing is having it display Viewers in Marketplace and/or Paid Sticky threads for Vendors only. But the rest of the forum will have it for Ub3r. Because you're right, could be used by competitors or leakers to be a pain in the ass.
I might even have time today to get this done. Gotta see what else is going on.

Borat approves. This feature is very nice indeed.
